After being overrun by PAS in the previous general election, Kelatan Umno is slowly taking shape once again after 'new players' were brought in to rattle the liaison committee.

The changes came into effect in January and this was the prescribed formula to put an end to the internal bickering and accommodate younger leaders into its inner circle..

"Kelantan Umno is getting more organised and stable. State party chief Mustapha Mohamad is more comfortable now to plan and execute strategies to recapture more seats in the next elections," said a party source today.

In the 1999 general election, Barisan Nasional only won two - Paloh (Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Hassan) and Galas (Mohamad Saufi Deraman) - of the 43 state seats in Kelantan.
