Umno Supreme Council member Zahidi Zainul Abidin said the party must first focus on winning the 15th General Election before it can decide on who would be the prime minister.
On top of this, he added that the prime ministerial candidate should be accepted by all other Umno allies, especially from Sabah and Sarawak.
He was commenting on Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan's statement that the prime minister's post must be held by Umno.
