Najib is a sinking Titanic in UMNO and it was only natural that Hishamuddin had jumped ship several months ago to Muhyiddin’s camp to stand a better chance of being the next DPM, which will also delay the ambition of Mukhriz.who wanted to be the next DPM as well. The UMNO Youth leader, Khairy Jamaluddin, can actually kiss his ambition goodbye. Mukhriz will now have to choose to be neutral and let his father, Mahathir, do the power bargaining or even manipulation when Najib has decided to demote his cousin to be the next Minteri Besar of Johor.
There will be revolt among UMNO youths and retaliation from supporters of each leaders who had been out maneuvered by the “elite” families in UMNO. In Wanita UMNO, another group backed by Rafidah, is quietly staging a coup against Shahrizat.
