Umno Youth gains nearly 17,000 new members in seven months
KUALA LUMPUR: Umno Youth recruited 16,920 new members between February and August this year, its secretary-general Mohd Hafiz Ariffin said.
Umno Youth, the youth wing of Malaysia's ruling party Umno, reported a significant increase in membership, adding 16,920 new members between February and August of this year, according to its secretary-general Mohd Hafiz Ariffin. The surge in recruitment was attributed to the launch of online registration in conjunction with the party's 80th anniversary, marking a milestone in their membership drive.
Hafiz credited Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh, the Umno Youth chief, for persistently advocating the online registration proposal until it was implemented. Additionally, the Aku Budak Umno movement, a social media phenomenon on the platform Threads, is also cited as a contributing factor to the membership growth.
