Johor Umno has accused Amanah of being more interested in chasing seats than serving voters, following remarks by the party’s state deputy chairperson, Dzulkefly Ahmad, in rejecting negotiations with BN.

Johor Umno information chief Israk Abdullah said there was nothing stopping Dzulkefly or Johor Amanah from contesting in any seat they wished - even against BN - if they were confident of their strength in the state.
