Kuala Lumpur: Several Umno delegates on Saturday want the party to continue to provide opportunities to young people to ensure that the party’s rejuvenation target is achieved.

In fact, some of them promised to try to gain the support of young people in order to bring victory to Umno in the 15th General Election (GE15).

“Insya-Allah, if Youth is given 50 seats in GE15, we promise and guarantee that we will win all the seats,” said Umno Youth representative from Melaka Dr Muhammad Akmal Saleh.

“Before this, we can rarely see more than one Youth candidate (contesting in a constituency), but under the leadership of the current president, not one…not two but four (seats) were given to Umno Youth during Melaka state election and five during Johor election...Alhamdulilah, we won all the seats, ‘’ he said during the debate on the policy speech of the Umno president at the party’s general assembly here.

Meanwhile, Umno student representative Wan Muhammad Zuhir Ghazali said potential young candidates should continue to be highlighted to manifest Umno’s rejuvenation principles.
