... as expected when he received his 134th nomination from the Batu Kawan division in Penang Sunday, clearing the way for him to be appointed prime minister next March.By passing the 133 mark, Datuk Najib, who is deputy Prime Minister and deputy Umno President, has denied former Finance Minister Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, the only other candidate who has offered to go for the party presidency, from securing the required number of nominations.
A candidate needs 58 nominations from among the 191 divisions to contest the party presidency. Two-thirds of the party divisions have already met and there are about 40 which have yet to hold their respective meetngs.
As at 8pm, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, has garnered a total of 138 nominations.
Tengku Razaleigh, who is Gua Musang MP, has so far obtained only one nomination on Saturday. The sole nomination came from the Gua Musang (Kelantan) division which he heads. (read related article here)

Tamatlah riwayat cerita Ku Li. Dengan umur dia sekarang, peluang dia untuk terus naik dalam politik nampaknya berakhir. Tu sebab dulu dia sibuk suruh orang turun sebab masa dia dah suntuk sangat.
Should we celebrate?????

Salam,
I have been blog hopping and ended up here. Pleasent blog you have here ma'am.
On the leadership, I just hope that who ever is at helm of the nation, will start getting down to business. Enough of political games already.
With the economy looking like it will get worse before it gets better, its time all Malaysians brace ourselves and pull through together.
My prayers are with This Nation and its Citizens.

Salam Sdr Nobisha: Thank you for putting me on your blogroll. Am honoured. Yes I do visit and have been visiting your blog.
Ridzzy: My sentiments too. And thank you for visiting.
kesian buat Ku Li.dia hanya menerima satu pencalonan sahaja.itupun dari bahagian dia sendiri di Gua Musang.apapun Ku Li wajar dipuji kerana berani mencuba beberapa kali untuk jawatan Presiden UMNO.Luck ain't just on his side.
Najib kenalah buktikan pada seluruh rakyat Malaysia yang dia mampu menggalas tanggungjawab sebagai ketua pemimpin dan tidak hanya berkata-kata sahaja.kata-kata perlu diiringi dengan bukti.
skandal-skandal yang Najib hadapi sekarang mampu menggugat peluangnya untuk menjadi PM nanti.Raja Petra telah dibenarkan untuk menjadi saksi untuk kes Atlantuya.jika semua ada yang dikatakan oleh Raja Petra mengenai pembabitan Najib dengan Atluntaya adalah benar,tidak mustahil Najib akan ditolak dari menjadi PM.
