Asyraf Wajdi: Umno backs any agenda to strengthen Malay unity, political stability

KOTA BARU: Umno's secretary-general, Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, stated that the party would back any agenda aimed at safeguarding the aspirations of Malays and fostering unity and political stability in the nation. He emphasized the party's commitment to supporting initiatives that could enhance cooperation among Malay-based political parties, in accordance with the president's aspirations.

Wajdi reiterated, during a press conference following the 72nd Pas Muktamar, that the Umno supreme council had decided to accept an invitation from Pas to attend the muktamar. He added that the party would send representatives to both the Umno general assembly and the event that had invited them. When asked if this development signaled a new political trend between the two parties, Wajdi maintained that it was premature to make such an assessment, stressing that they remained dedicated to efforts for Malay unity and political stability.

The 2026 Umno General Assembly, scheduled to take place at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur from September 9 to 12, is expected to attract nearly 7,000 delegates, with Umno families comprising between 8,000 and 12,000 participants.
