Seremban Umno has left the final decision on a request from its members to field a candidate in the Parliament seat traditionally contested by MCA to Negeri Sembilan party chief Mohamad Hassan.

Seremban Umno Youth chief Zool Amali Hussein (above) told Malaysiakini the matter was decided at a Seremban Umno meeting prior to his wing's decision yesterday to cut ties with Seremban MCA and Negeri Sembilan MCA.

Zool reaffirmed his wing's decision to cut ties with the BN component, in response to alleged provocations by Seremban MCA chief Siow Koi Voon on the candidate issue in the next 15th general election (GE15).
