Umno vice-president, Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail, revealed that 100 'Patriots' were deployed in 50 state constituencies during the Johor state election. In Negeri Sembilan, 50 Patriots engaged with 13,267 voters in person and a further 7,276 online across 25 state constituencies. During the 2026 Umno General Assembly, Wan Rosdy, who serves as the SPU Board of Governors chairman, emphasized that SPU members are not just passive observers but actively participate in the Umno struggle by working in the field. The SPU, established in January 2025, has already produced over 200 young leaders through five series, with the sixth series scheduled soon. Wan Rosdy highlighted four 'BLUE' approaches to strengthen and translate the 'Blue Malaysia Agenda' into grassroots actions. These approaches encompass building relationships with the people, delivering services, earning trust, resolving problems, winning hearts through tangible work and relatable language, understanding the pulse of the people, and transforming the perception of Umno.",
