Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Mukhriz Tun Dr Mahathir said he will announce whether to contest the Umno Supreme Council (MT) seat or not at the right time.

"I have three options to consider. I have to think of my responsibility as the Menteri Besar to develop Kedah and also as Kedah Umno liaison chairman.

"Its a difficult decision to make as candidates have to offer themselves and no longer based on nomination," he told reporters after chairing the State Executive Council meeting at Wisma Darul Aman here on Wednesday.

Mukhriz also clarified that articles in blogs saying that he wished to contest for the MT seat did not come from him or his colleagues.
