Umno to hold 'Himpunan Perpaduan Ummah' with Pas to test political cooperation
KUALA LUMPUR: Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has given the party’s Youth wing a mandate to organise a “Himpunan Perpaduan Ummah” aimed at bringing together one million Muslims as part of efforts to strengthen cooperation with Pas.
The Umno party in Malaysia has authorized its Youth wing to organize a Himpunan Perpaduan Ummah, a gathering aimed at uniting one million Muslims, as part of efforts to enhance cooperation with the opposition party Pas. Umno President Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi made this announcement during the party's 2026 General Assembly, following a positive meeting with Pas leaders.
The Umno Youth chief Datuk Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh has been given the mandate to lead this initiative, with support from division and state Youth chiefs. The cooperation could serve as a test of Pas's loyalty and sincerity, starting in Terengganu, Kelantan, and Kedah. Umno emphasizes that the relationship should be based on mutual respect, honesty, and a commitment to the Muslim community's interests.
The goal is to strengthen unity without expecting parties to become identical, but rather to find common ground that can benefit the ummah, particularly ahead of the 16th General Election.
