Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department said that he has decided to run for the deputy president’s post in the upcoming party elections after coming to a conclusion that current deputy vice-president Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak will be taking over the president’s post. He said "I have no intention of stepping ahead of any leader. My decision is based on my conclusion that Najib will take over the president's post. Why should I delay the announcement? The divisions will start their nominations on that day... let the grassroots members decide," -Zen, MalaysiaToday
