Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin said DAP would likely be the main influence in determining who the prime minister would be should Pakatan Harapan win the next general election.

According to Bernama, he claimed the alliance would have a problem in deciding who would become the prime minister if they won the general election as the issue would be determined by the party that won the most seats.

"Pakatan Harapan announced Anwar Ibrahim as de facto leader, Dr Mahathir Mohamad as chairperson and Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail as president, but the party that would likely have the most seats is DAP.

"DAP will influence the appointment of the prime minister.

“This happened in Perak for 11 months while the opposition was the state government,” he said at a press conference after opening the Taiping Umno delegates conference at Dewan Sekolah Sains Raja Tun Azlan Shah in Taiping yesterday.

He added Umno’s machinery was becoming more solid at every level in readiness for GE14.

Meanwhile during his officiating speech, the Umno Youth chief underlined five attributes that an Umno leader should have to earn the people’s support and win in the 14th general election.

He cited integrity and trustworthiness, efficiency, caring personality and discerning of the people’s needs.

"This is important because the people are the ones who would determine the outcome of an election,” he said.
