Umno hopes Najib’s pardon application will face no delay
Party secretary-general Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki says Umno will continue pursuing justice for Najib Razak through legal and constitutional channels.
Umno, the Malaysian political party, expressed optimism that Najib Razak's pardon request related to his 1MDB-linked convictions will not encounter any delays at the upcoming meeting of the Federal Territories Pardons Board. Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, Umno's secretary-general, emphasized the party's respect for the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and the Federal Constitution's pardon processes.
The Prime Minister's Department informed that Sultan Ibrahim, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, had agreed to postpone Najib's application to the next meeting. Despite expressing sorrow over the decision, Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi conveyed the party's hope that the Sultan would exercise his wisdom and royal prerogative when making the final decision.
Umno remains committed to upholding the institution of Malay Rulers and the constitutional, legal, and legitimate channels in pursuing justice for Najib.
