The source said it remains to be seen if Umno could get any other seats on top of the 15 that had already been agreed.
The cooperation between Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional in the unity government at the federal level prompted Umno to take a bolder step in the Malay heartland.
The party will also likely contest in two of the three state seats in Baling, which are Bayu and Kupang. Among the names that are being bandied out to contest were Umno state chief Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid in Pedu, and Pokok Sena Umno Youth chief Mohd Farhan Ahmad, who is a new face. Meanwhile, when asked about his candidacy, Mohd Farhan said the selection of candidates was the prerogative of the party leadership at the state and federal level.
