Usaha satukan Melayu gagal kerana tuntutan kerusi bertindih, kata Ketua Umno Tampin
Isam Isa berkata kesediaan Umno mengorbankan kerusi boleh dimenangi di Negeri Sembilan bantu satukan pengundi Melayu dan mengembalikan parti itu ke tampuk kuasa.
Ketua Umno Tampin, Isam Isa, revealed that the failure of previous attempts to unite Malay parties stemmed primarily from disagreements over seat distribution. While discussing Umno's foundational principles at the party's grand conference, Isam acknowledged the difficulty of negotiating seat allocations due to the differing strengths of Umno and PAS across various states.
He admitted that while some states like Gemas, Klawang, and Sikamat were strongholds of Umno, others were equally dominant for PAS. Isa urged Umno to remain dedicated to loyalty and sacrifice rather than positions, emphasizing that the party's strength lies in its commitment, sacrifice, and discipline. He critiqued former Umno leaders Puad Zarkashi and Tengku Zafrul Aziz for viewing the party as merely a transit point for political careers.
Puad left Umno in June, shortly before the PRN Johor, after announcing he wouldn't retain the DUN seat of Rengit. Tengku Zafrul joined PKR in August 2025.
