Rafidah will defend Wanita chief post, June plan in question

KUALA LUMPUR: Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz says she will defend her Wanita Umno Chief post but remained mum on whether the June transition plan is still on.In a handwritten 10-page letter Rafidah who is the Kuala Kangsar MP said she valued the nominations she received and would defend her post for the 2009 - 2011 term.“I am leaving it to the delegates to decide on which leader they want for the 2009-2011 period,” she said.Rafidah who was supposed to handover the post to her deputy Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil in June, three months after the March party election, said she was disappointed that the transition plan had been disputed and rejected now when it had been accepted by the exco earlier when it was first mooted.On Thursday, Shahrizat who received enough nominations to contest the Wanita Chief post said she would take on Rafidah for the post.

Varimax:

Mac 2009 PM Abdullah will be handing over the Presidency of UMNO and Premiership to DPM Najib. Is there a possibility that if Rafidah retains her post as Wanita UMNO Chief, she will be back in the Najib's cabinet? What will happen to Shahrizat then? The other candidate for the deputy chief, Kamilia will most probably be elected to the post.. So, there is a possibility that Rafidah and Kamilia will form the new leadership team in Wanita UMNO, without Shahrizat..
