At the beginning of this year, Ahmad Zahi was a Malaysian politician with a smile and a rainbow.The UMNO's Umno has been in power for more than half a century since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Until 2018, the Fang was defeated by the Pakatan Harapan of the Organization Alliance, but soon Ahmad Zahi was in danger and was elected as the Umno Chairman.However, in less than two years, some members of the parliament led by Muyudin in the Pakatan Harapan changed their festivals to form an alliance with the UMNO and the Islamic Party who had become the opposition party, overthrowing the Pakatan Harapan government and came to power.Mu Yuding became the Prime Minister. Although Ahmad Zahi failed to enter the cabinet because of his criminal lawsuit, he was also a major member of the ruling league.
Mu Yuding, who had been the second leader of UMNO, was also honest and polite after becoming a pavilion. He crowded the UMNO of the same ruling alliance everywhere, respected his own soil party party, and even attracted some UMNO.The mainstream of UMNO, headed by Ahmad Zaji.The cooperative relationship between witch and soil was cracking.Later, the former Prime Minister Najib, who belonged to the mainstream of UMNC, was convicted in a criminal case related to a company scandal.The strange political relationship of the same bed in the league.
At that time, the opposition party was stunned.Anwar, who led the Pakatan Harapan several times, claimed to have the support of the more than half of the parliamentary seats, but only heard the stairs, and did not successfully come to power.The story of "wolf is here" is too much, and even many Pakatan Harapan supporters are tired, so they no longer have much hope for Anhua.
By the second half of last year, Muyudin was strong and not in accordance with the rule of the democratic tradition of Congress (such as using the emergency state and rejection of Congress).After Ahmad Zahi officially announced UMNO's withdrawal from the United Government, Mu Yuding was forced to step down.However, in order to ensure that the regime is in the hands of political parties, which is mainly Malaysians, it will not fall into the hands of Pakatan Harapan, which is regarded as an equal governance of a diverse ethnic group, but UMNO has turned around to form an alliance with the Turkish Party.Accept Isemisaberi is the Prime Minister.
Since then, Ahmad Zahi has been welcomed by voters based on the internal polls of UMNO and began to pressure Esmai and asked to dissolve the Congress to hold a general election in orderAfter the victory, it is not necessary to look at the faces of the Tuling Party, let alone continuing Esmai's prime minister's term.However, Esima is unavoidable to take office by chance. Of course, I do not want to be the shortest prime minister in Malaysia, so on the one hand, when the election is virtual and the snake, but on the other hand, it boldly crosses the political gap.Political reforms are conditions, and the Greek League supports him to continue his office and compete for Ahmad Zahi's pressure.
Ahmad Zahi, Najib, etc. are naturally uncomfortable. They have made a public call for the election as soon as possible. Ismai is unmoved. UMNO mainstream factions can only "remind him" with active actions.First, the state of Malacca was launched. The national alliance led by the Tuling Party decided to run separately, forming a three -legged situation with the Barisan Naspoon, which belongs to the Federal Governance Alliance, and the Pakatan Harapan in the wild.In that state election, although Najib was guilty, he still walked through the image of the popular "My Boss".The people are scrambling to take a photo with him.
Although Esmai is expensive as the Prime Minister, it is only arranged by Barisan Nasional in Malacca. In order to avoid embarrassment, it must also arrange to visit abroad during the state election.In that state election held at the end of last year, the Barisan Nasional won the victory, and the Pakatan Harapan achieved a few years, and the national alliance was almost overwhelmed.Therefore, the smile of Ahmad Zahi at the beginning of this article, and Muyudin, Anwar, Esmai and other pictures were sad.
Under the circumstances of Esima's early election, the UMNO mainstream faction once again "promoted" the selection of Johor State to pressure him.During the campaign, Umno's arrangement was exactly the same as the selection of Malacca State.Even Johor's selection results are similar to Malacca, that is, the leadership of the Barisan Nasional, the Pakatan Harapan and the National League were left behind.On the night of the voting day, when Ahmad Zahi, who was still smiling, celebrated the winning election on the stage, politely pushed Prime Minister Eismai aside and put Nagjjila beside him.The struggle is clear at a glance.As for Anwar, the other side, it was also in the predicament of the supporters that she had publicly called for abdication to let Xian.
Daniey still refused to fulfill the dream of pursuing the pursuit of UMNO, and the election was held until half a year.During that period, Anwar's Justice Party ushered in Lafite, a master of strategy, to a certain extent, and to a certain extent, the Pakatan Harapan reputable.After the pain and pain, the National League also implemented the campaign strategy of the Turkish Party's focus on paying money (to lubricate election machines) and the Islamic Party focusing on people (to organize tickets) and put into practice.Conversely, Najib was finalized by a crime of being tried to be prison, Ahmad Zahi, and other Umno mainstream leaders to continue the lawsuit, which caused a certain impact on the Barisan Nasional.
So after the results of the Malaysian elections just passed, the Pakatan Harapan became the party to win the most national seats. After the National Alliance was slightly losing, the Barisan Nasional was thrown away.In Malaysia, the mainstream political trends from ensuring that the Mentilians always dominate politics, and to try to prevent the so -called "green wave" that are considered to be dedicated and the Iraqi Party.The government, Anhua circled the dream of the Prime Minister, and Ahmadzhi also laughed at the end as the deputy again.For more than a year, the fate of the main characters in politics has undulating, and has quietly drawn a question mark for Malaysia's political prospects.
