While Puteri Umno divisions are free to nominate any candidate to contest for the wing's No 1 post, it appears that incumbent Azalina Othman Said remains the favourite choice.

The wing's information chief Bibi Sharliza Abdul Khalid said it is up to division leaders to nominate individuals whom they feel are capable of leading the two-year-old wing, whose membership is opened to women between the age of 16 and 35.

"I'm convinced that Azalina would not have any problem to get the two nominations needed, at least in Negeri Sembilan where I am the state chief," she told malaysiakini .

Bibi Sharliza who replaced Puteri chief contender Mastina Abdul Hamid in January this year is confident that all seven divisions in Negeri Sembilan will throw their weight behind Azalina.

Mastina and another former exco member, Raihan Suleiman Palestine, have expressed their intention to contest for the top post in this November's election.
