Barisan Nasional will not give PKR leader Anwar Ibrahim an easy run by not placing a candidate at the Permatang Pauh by election.
Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak said that calls made by several Umno leaders against placing Bn candidates were made in their personal capacity.
In recent days, several Umno leaders have urged the ruling party not to waste time and money by placing a candidate for the sure-win seat for Anwar.
"BN must present a choice to the Permatang Pauh voters," said Najib when asked to comment.
He said that the BN supreme council will discuss at its meeting on Wednesday on the suitable candidate for the seat.
The seat fell vacant following Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail's decision to relinquish it to allow her husband to contest.
