A political analyst says Umno must ask how many seats it can really win if PAS withdraws its support or chooses to go its own way. (Bernama pic)PETALING JAYA: A call for Parliament to be dissolved may backfire on Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, says an analyst, who says Umno should not mistake the strength of its alliance with PAS for its own electoral strength.
Ahmad Zaharuddin Sani Ahmad Sabri.The truth is that Umno has not yet truly proved that it can stand alone without support from political allies. Don’t assume you can run simply because you’ve borrowed strength,” said Ahmad Zaharuddin Sani Ahmad Sabri of Global Asia Consulting.
He said the political momentum enjoyed by Umno ahead of today's Melaka election did not necessarily reflect its own strength.
