The D Day

I've been told that our Prime Minister could formally announce that he will not be contesting (as in defending his Umno presidency) either by 7th or 8th Oct. Read here for the background.

Umno leaders are hoping that after the last Umno supreme council extraordinary meeting at which Abdullah Badawi was bluntly told to make way to Najib, he would proceed with the announcement of staying out of the party polls and not do one of his infamous flip-flops.

Said a Sabah Umno leader in a text message last week: "There is a compromise between Pak Lah and Najib. Likely scenario, Pak Lah will not defend Umno post and Najib will agree to defer general assembly for him to assume the presidency uncontested and PM post.
