Back Najib call to UMNO and front
Kuala Lumpur, Thurs. - Tengku Ariff Bendahara of Pahang called on UMNO and National Front members today to support a move to nominate Datuk Ahmad Najib, eldest son of the late Tun Abdul Razak, as the National Front candidate for the Pekan parliamentary by-election (his father's old seat).
The Tengku asked his supporters not to put forward his name as a candidate because his many commitments prevent him from accepting the nomination.
When contacted at his Petronas office here where he is employed as an executive secretary, Datuk Najib said he had not made up his mind whether or not to agree to be nominated.
"It's a very big step for me to go into politics," he added.
