Umno refining SD for Sabah state election candidates
Umno secretary-general Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said the enhancements are being carried out by the party's legal team, which includes Umno information chief Azalina Othman Said. MACHANG : Umno is refining its statutory declaration (SD) document for candidates who will be fielded in the Sabah state election, taking into account the current political landscape. Its secretary-general, Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said this is being done by the party's legal team, which includes Umno information chief Azalina Othman Said. 'For the Sabah state election, we will use the same template, but with enhancements based on the present situation.

Internal sabotage caused Umno's election losses, says Asyraf
Umno secretary-general Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki greeting party members at the delegates meeting of the Rantau Panjang Umno division yesterday. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : Sabotage by party members, not the strength of rival parties, led to Umno's losses in the 2022 general election (GE15), says Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki. 'That (sabotage) is what we want to avoid in the future,' the party's secretary-general told reporters after opening the delegates meeting of the Rantau Panjang Umno division yesterday, Bernama reported. He reminded party leaders and members to remain united and avoid any discord to ensure a big victory at the next general election (GE16). In GE15, Umno won only 26 parliamentary seats and 31% of the popular vote, the worst election performance in its history compared to its 2004 high point, when it won 102 seats and 65% of the popular vote. Asked about moves for Umno to leave the unity government and go solo in GE16, he said: 'We have never been alone in a general election as the country's stability and prosperity would not be achieved if the struggle was done individually.' He added that the Umno Supreme Council will continue to defend the unity government.
