BN going solo: Decision in the hands of party delegates, says Annuar
UMNO AGM | The final decision whether BN will go solo in the next general election is in the hands of Umno delegates, said Ketereh Umno division chief Annuar Musa.
He said this when asked to comment on Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's policy speech at the Umno annual general assembly 2020 in Kuala Lumpur this morning.

UMNO AGM | The final decision whether BN will go solo in the next general election is in the hands of Umno delegates, said Ketereh Umno division chief Annuar Musa.
He said this when asked to comment on Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's policy speech at the Umno annual general assembly 2020 in Kuala Lumpur this morning.
"I believe it is the president's right to choose his narrative in his policy speech. And I think this gives the delegates the chance to really look into it and evaluate, as debates (on the policy speech) have yet to start.
"Whatever it is, we hope that everything would go smoothly," he told reporters at the Putra World Trade Centre.
Earlier, Zahid in his speech had reiterated the party's stand not to continue cooperation with Bersatu come the next general election.
The Bagan Datuk MP, who is also BN chairperson, stressed that Umno is also sticking to its stand not to work with Anwar Ibrahim and DAP.
"It is up to the party president to include this in his policy speech," said Annuar, adding that it is "up to Umno and party delegates whether they want to go solo (in the next election)."
Annuar, who is Federal Territories Minister, said that, however, it is good that Zahid now has made it clear his position regarding Umno's way forward.
"At least, the president explains his plan to contest (the election) solo. Before this, it seemed like there was a plan to work with this person or that person," he said, referring to recent speculations that Umno was planning to cooperate with PKR.
