Tok Mat wins Umno deputy president's post

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan who earlier today retained his Rembau division chief post is now Umno's deputy president.

Mohamad, more affectionately known as Tok Mat, emerged as the winner after defeating Tan Sri Annuar Musa.

Earlier, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was proclaimed as the new Umno president as he secured 93 votes in the election held nationwide today, as at 9.40pm.

His closest contender is former Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin who secured 53 votes, while veteran Umno politician Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah only managed 23 votes.

Around 165,000 Umno delegates cast their votes across 191 divisions today.

Last week, the 191 divisions elected Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki as the new Umno Youth chief, Datuk Dr Noraini Ahmad as Wanita Chief and Datuk Zahida Zarik Khan as the new Puteri chief.
