Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak may be trying to pull off a public show of support this Sunday with a meeting of Umno division leaders but it is unlikely to stop the forces out to unseat him, say analysts.

While the show of force is meant to convince the grassroots that all is well with his leadership, it will do little, if at all, to placate Najib's opponents from among the elite, including former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, said Merdeka Centre director Ibrahim Suffian.
