Umno remains the party of the people's choice based on the
results of the recent 13th general election, Prime Minister Datuk Seri
Najib Tun Razak said.
He said this was evident with Umno winning 88 of the parliamentary seats in the election, from 79 in the 2008 general election.
"If compared with the opposition, they have 89 seats, meaning Umno alone can equalise the seats won by the opposition allies comprising DAP, PKR and PAS," he told reporters after chairing the Umno Supreme Council meeting here Friday.
Najib, who is Umno president, said the party's performance was also gauged by its ability to wrest back Kedah and Perak, as well as the increase in votes obtained.
"According to our study, there is about 30 per cent increase in votes for Umno from the 12th general election," he added.
As such, he said, Umno would continue to strengthen its machinery through various improvements.
"The Umno supreme council has received suggestions from the management committee chaired by deputy president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on the need for us to review the party's administration at the headquarters.
"This will involve research and training, the social media, information, etc," he added.
Najib said restructuring was necessary to ensure efforts, message and all directives by the supreme council could be implemented smoothly.
"Restructuring will be carried in tandem with the need to get professionals to work full time and be dedicated to the tasks given," he added.- Bernama
