Umno tak perlukan perikatan baharu, kekal bersama BN, kata Mohamad

Timbalan Presiden Umno berkata parti itu terbuka kepada kerjasama politik tetapi mahu persefahaman yang fleksibel dan tidak mengikat.

Umno tak perlukan perikatan baharu, kekal bersama BN, kata Mohamad

The Deputy President of Umno, Mohamad Hasan, has stated that the party does not require a new alliance and will continue to remain with the Barisan Nasional (BN). This position does not indicate that Umno is closing the door to political cooperation with other parties, but rather, any collaboration must be non-binding, allowing Umno to determine its own political direction.

Umno will continue to be with BN, both historically and indefinitely. All collaborations should be free and open, not tied by contract, he emphasized during the 2026 Umno Women, Youth, and Princess Summit at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur. Mohamad also stated that Umno does not want to bind or be bound by anyone. They wish to be free to act according to their political calculations. Umno does not want their Malay support to depend on the support or assistance of fellow politicians.

While Umno values the assistance they have received from former allies, they question how long Umno should rely on the goodwill of fellow politicians. He said Umno needs to use its experience to rebuild strong support among Malays and return to being a party that can provide protection and shelter, rather than relying on the generosity of others.
