Umno assembly: Five things to watch for as the party gears up for GE15

Saturday, 27 Mar 2021 06:54 AM MYTPreparations are underway for the upcoming Umno annual general meeting in PWTC, Kuala Lumpur March 25, 2021. — Picture by Ahmad ZamzahuriKUALA LUMPUR, March 27 — After a year of provisionally supporting Perikatan Nasional , Umno will chart an independent course for the 15th general election and is set to solidify this at its annual assembly this weekend.

The members fear that Umno will suffer from the association with Bersatu when disgruntled voters head to the ballot box.Many Umno members are still keen on proceeding with PAS under the Muafakat Nasional banner but their concern has grown due to recent statements and stances by the Islamist party, such as forming PN state committees rather than strengthening MN.

Suspicions continue to hover over the motive of every decision made by party president Ahmad Zahid, who remains under the cloud of corruption cases, since he resumed the position after initially stepping aside temporarily. Apart from taking over the federal government, Umno also cooperated with PN parties during the Sabah state election to topple the Warisan-led government.

While Zahid has denied Anwar’s claim, this has not convinced grassroots members that this was a bridge their party will not cross.
