Will the change in UMNO stabilise the party

If Abdullah Ahmad Badawi really handing over his supremacy to Najib Razak, will this stabilise the party? Will all the power fancied settle on Najib's leadership?

I think it's not as easy as it looks. Once Pak Lah hand over the UMNO presidency to Najib, surely there will be many who's eyeing for the veep post in UMNO, as it looks now, there are at least 6 people eyeing for that post left void by Najib (as it looks likely now)

So once Najib taking over, I think there will be another battle for No 2 post. That will again throw things into chaos and whether it will left, as suggested by Tun Dr Mahathir, to one or two people at the end running for the no 2 post, we not sure, but sure there will be ill feeling among the camp if that happen, which looks very likely now.

Najib will of course wants someone close to him, and listen to him to be elected as UMNO no 2 man, and he's surely doesn't want people like Muhyuddin or Mohd Taib as his assistant. So after much hype from Muhyuddin camp, I think he will wants the no 2 post as well, otherwise why had all the fuss and then let someone else take over the post.

So we now can expecting a real battle for supremacy within UMNO itself, and who will win we must wait to see!
