Perlis Umno wants to go solo at next polls, says PN incompetent
State chief says there have been no talks on a pact with PN despite certain quarters trying to arrange discussions.
Perlis Umno leader Rozabil Abd Rahman announced the party's intention to contest the upcoming elections independently, rather than aligning with Perikatan Nasional (PN). The Umno chief attributed this decision to the lack of perceived development under the PN-led administration in Perlis. Despite PN's claims of a pact with BN in the Negeri Sembilan polls resulting in a significant victory, Perlis Umno remains unsatisfied with the current state of affairs.
Umno's machinery is gearing up to contest all 18 seats in Perlis—15 at the state level and three in the federal parliament—without any formal talks with PN, as acknowledged by an unnamed political observer. The Umno chief, expressing confidence in growing support for the party, criticized the PN-led governance, citing the absence of meaningful progress in job creation and economic opportunities for young people.
