State polls: Umno to field new faces, says Zahid

Ahmad Zahid also expressed thanks to Barisan component parties, MCA and MIC, for continuing to back Barisan in the upcoming six state polls.

In the last 15th General Election, Ahmad Zahid had previously announced that Umno had a mix of old and new faces to contest under the Barisan coalition.

“Even though our friends from MCA and MIC did not field any candidates from the respective parties, I respect the top leaders to remain with Barisan to show their support in the state polls,” he said. On July 5, MCA and MIC announced that the two component parties will sit out the six state elections but will remain to play their roles to support the coalition.
