GEORGE TOWN: The Registrar of Societies (RoS) Department has approved an additional motion passed\u00a0at the 2022 UMNO General Assembly (PAU) for the\u00a0president and deputy president posts to be uncontested\u00a0in the party’s elections this year.
\nUMNO president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said UMNO had received a letter from the Home Minister regarding RoS\u2019 decision yesterday.
\n“The letter from the Home Minister\u00a0yesterday was about the notification of the decision on the exemption from compliance with Section 13 (1) (c) (14), through Section 70 of the Societies\u00a0Act 1966 (Act 832), with regard\u00a0to\u00a0the passing\u00a0of the additional motion at PAU 2022,” he said in a press conference after attending a ceremony here today\u00a0to introduce candidates for UMNO Penang in the party\u2019s upcoming elections.
\nHe said the letter from KDN confirmed that the passed additional motion was valid.
\n“This is because all the clauses in the party\u2019s constitution were also adhered to by the permanent chairman,” he said.
\nMeanwhile, Ahmad Zahid\u00a0said all UMNO members should give priority to strengthening the party and defending the Unity Government.
\nThe current government must be defended because UMNO is part of it…any agenda that can undermine the government (shouldn\u2019t be pursued) and do not elect figures who can undermine the government,” he said.
\nHe also reminded all candidates\u00a0not to conduct campaigns that could see them being disqualified or have their victory annulled.
\nThe UMNO elections kicked off on Feb 1 and will run until March 18.
