Umno Pahang has indicated its readiness to face "any possibility" that will follow the outcome of former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak's ongoing trial verdict.
When contacted, Pahang Umno information chief Syed Ibrahim Syed Ahmad said the party will not have a problem in terms of its line-up of candidates for the 15th general election, including replacing Najib in Pekan, if needed.
"We have many candidates who can stand in Pekan, not just Najib.
"Pahang Umno has no issues in terms of candidates. Pahang Umno is also ready for all possibilities," Syed Ibrahim told Malaysiakini.
