Umno's council of advisors chairperson Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah has urged the party to prepare for the possibility of a snap general election.
The Gua Musang lawmaker said this included holding talks with PAS and BN component parties on seat allocations.
“We must resolve this (issue) so that nothing which divides us arises later. We must also take into account the non-Malays who have been our loyal friends.
“I feel that it (discussions) should start now. What if there is a snap election?
“This is possible. If there is a change in leadership, there can be a snap election,” he was quoted as saying by Utusan Malaysia.
Tengku Razaleigh, who is also known as Ku Li, was referring to the transition of power between Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his designated successor PKR president Anwar Ibrahim.
