Uncertainty over candidate spells trouble for Umno

PKR's election machinery chief Saifuddin Nasution observes that Umno's dilemma in selecting a suitable candidate for the by-election is good news for Pakatan Rakyat.
PKR's election machinery chief Saifuddin Nasution said if Isa said:
"If they (Umno) do not choose Isa, the party machinery may face a boycott in the Teluk Kemang Umno machinery. This will result in a possible loss. "If they choose Isa, then it would show that Umno does not have any credible candidates to lead the challenge, not a single credible person from the ranks of the present leadership in Teluk Kemang Umno, even in its Puteri, Umno Youth or putera divisions."

Nevertheless, Lim Guan Eng is of the opinion that Umno will win with Isa. He said:
“You can win the battle but lose the war. You can win Bagan Pinang but can lose the whole Malaysia. They also cannot lose in Bagan Pinang because they will also lose the whole Malaysia.
