Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin said four leaders have been named as candidates for the Umno supreme council posts in the party elections next month.

They are Umno Youth vice-chief Razali Ibrahim, information chief Reezal Merican Naina Merican, economic bureau chairperson Sohaimi Shahadan and new media unit chairperson Faisal Ismail Aziz.

"We give unanimous support to the four candidates. I urge all the youth delegates who will vote for the supreme council seats to give them solid support," he told reporters after chairing the Umno Youth committee meeting at Menara Dato' Onn, Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) in Kuala Lumpur today.

He said although the four are Umno Youth official candidates, others keen to contest the seats would be considered.

Four leaders who offered to contest the Umno Youth vice-chief's post are Perak Youth chief Khairul Azwan Haron, Umno Youth Exco member Lokman Noor Adam, Tenom Youth chief Jamawi Jaafar and Lengong Youth chief Mohd Iruan Zulkefli.
