Kelantan Umno Liaison Committee chairperson Mustapa Mohamed is to defend his seat in the Umno supreme council at the party elections in October.

The Jeli MP and Ayer Lanas state assemblyperson, when asked whether he would go for any higher position in the party, said he would only defend his supreme council seat “unless something unexpected came up”.  

Mustapa, who is the International Trade and Industry Minister, spoke to reporters after attending a breaking-of-the-fast with heads of government departments and NGOs in Kota Baru last night.

Also present was Kelantan Umno Liaison Committee deputy chairperson Awang Adek Hussin.
