I have waiting whole night long postponing my exam studies just to get know the results.
At around 10pm, Shahrizat Abdul Jalil (507 votes) crushed incumbent Rafizah Aziz (280 votes) by 277 votes majority to win the UMNO Women Chief post. This shows clearly the women wing wants new leader and a fresh mandate has been delivered to Shahrizat.
Meanwhile, Khairy won the UMNO Youth Chief post only after recount. He received 304 votes. Khir Toyo and Mukhriz got 254 and 232 votes respectively. Earlier, there were rumours going on that Mukhriz has won by a slight margin. But recount proved not. Khairy who was the last to get his minimum number nomination to contest among the 3 person, created a shock when he was selected as the Youth Chief. For the last few days, he has been bombarded indirectly by Tun Dr Mahathir and given warning by UMNO Discipline Committee for indirect involvement in money politics. However, his winning is seen as continuation of Hishamuddin's leadership and to keep in balance with Najib's administration.
Anything happens, tomorrow is going to be a greater day. See who is going to win Deputy President and Vice President post. There is also some news flying in the air that we are going to see a surprise selection by the delegates. We might get a new Deputy Prime Minister candidate on 27th of March. Wait, see and enjoy the DRAMA!
