Umno's chief secretary of division Datuk Norazuwan Aziz said the list is expected to be out on Wednesday as more time was needed to vet the candidates with the Insolvency Department.

"This is not the finalised list. You would need to wait at least until Wednesday.

"We need to assess the credit status of the candidates as clause 9A of the Societies Act of 1966 forbids bankrupts from holding any post in the party," said Azwan at the party's headquarters on Monday (June 18).

He also confirmed the names of Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah and Khairy Jamaluddin as among the seven for the presidency but refused to reveal the remaining four names.
