Umno to discuss Melaka polls pact next week
Umno Supreme Council member Ahmad Maslan says the agenda includes discussions on whether the party will cooperate with others or go solo.
The Malaysian United Malays National Organisation (Umno) is set to discuss the political strategy for the upcoming Melaka state election at its Supreme Council meeting on August 28. The meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, will also cover Umno's decision on whether to cooperate with other parties or proceed independently in the state election.
Ahmad Maslan, a prominent Umno leader, stated that there is no final decision made regarding Umno's political direction in Melaka, including potential cooperation with the Pakatan Harapan (PH) or Perikatan Nasional (PN) parties. He acknowledged that discussions in the media and statements from several Umno leaders in Melaka have centered around these potential alliances.
Maslan emphasized that Umno members must adhere to the party's decision on the Melaka state election and noted that the BN (Barisan Nasional) government must consider the circumstances in each state. The Melaka State Assembly needs to secure a new mandate by February of the following year.
