Zahid meets Negeri Sembilan MB over proclamation issue
The high-level meeting was joined by Umno vice-presidents Johari Ghani, Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail and Khaled Nordin.
Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is set to meet with Negeri Sembilan's Menteri Besar Ismail Lasim to discuss Ismail's claim that he was forced to sign a proclamation to remove the state's ruler. The meeting took place at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur, where Umno's 2026 general assembly is currently underway. Along with Zahid, three Umno vice-presidents - Johari Ghani, Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail, and Khaled Nordin - were present at the meeting.
Ismail had previously stated that he signed the proclamation under duress and had reported the matter to the police. However, the menteri besar has now rejected the validity of the document, claiming it did not adhere to the procedures outlined in Article 10 of the Laws of the Constitution of Negeri Sembilan 1959.
