Kedah Umno Revamped To Strengthen Party

ALOR SETAR, May 14 (Bernama) -- Three new faces have been appointed into the Kedah Umno liaison committee in a revamp to rejuvenate and strengthen the party for the coming 13th general election.
They are Langkawi division chief and Kuah assemblyman Datuk Nawawi Ahmad, who replaces Datuk Ahmad Bashah Md Hanipah as secretary; Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Senator Major-General (Rtd) Datuk Jamil Khir Baharom as information chief, replacing Datuk Hadzir Ismail, and Deputy International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Mukhriz Tun Dr Mahathir, who replaces Datuk Badruddin Amiruldin as treasurer.
Their appointments were announced by Kedah Umno liaison chief Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal after a meeting here Thursday.
"The revamp is made to enable the division heads to focus on activities to strengthen and restore the people's confidence in the party so that Umno can wrest back the state from the opposition," he added.

tunku : kedah umno needs total revamp.kedah umno is in a very big mess.they must really work extra hard to wrest back the state from pas. the expired and controversial leaders should make way for the new and none controversial leaders. people like mahadzir khalid, johari baharom, saad man and few others should be out of the picture completely.shafie afdal should start looking for election candidates from now and make them go to the ground asap.i guess the3 new appointments made by shafie afdal was a good choice.
