Umno allows state leaders to negotiate cooperation with any party for next election

Umno has decided to allow its state leaders to negotiate cooperation with any political party for the upcoming election, according to a resolution passed at the party's Supreme Council meeting. The decision, made by Umno secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, emphasizes that these negotiations must be based on sincerity and trust, rather than intimidation.

Following the meeting, Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi invited PAS leaders to attend the 2026 Umno General Assembly, which will be held from September 9 to 12. The meeting also discussed three programmes scheduled for September 8, including the 2026 Malay Education Convention, the Malaysian Islamic Scholars Convention, and Laman Wanita Kreatif.

Umno reaffirmed its commitment to the rule of law, stating that no individual should be considered guilty until proven so in a court of law.
