Tajuddin tops G7 vote in Pasir Salak, marks return to Umno General Assembly
IPOH: Former Umno Supreme Council member, Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman, has demonstrated that his political influence remains strong after emerging as the top vote-getter in the G7 selection for the Pasir Salak Umno Division. With this result, Tajuddin will represent the division at the 2025 Umno General Assembly. He secured 376 votes, followed by his wife, Datin Seri Rohkiah Abdul Samat, who also achieved an impressive result with 362 votes, surpassing the other candidates during the Pasir Salak Umno Division meeting on Sunday. The G7 refers to a group of delegates elected during Umno division-level meetings to represent their divisions at the Umno General Assembly. Umno Pasir Salak Division deputy chief Mohd Nazari Sabran said the result reflects the continued strong grassroots support for Tajuddin and his wife's political struggle. "I would like to express my appreciation and deepest thanks to all Umno Pasir Salak Division delegates who attended and committed to the recent division meeting. "Congratulations to all successful G7 candidates, especially to Ayahanda Datuk Seri Tajuddin and Bonda Datin Seri Rohkiah for their outstanding victory. "This clearly shows that members' confidence in their leadership remains firm and unwavering," he said in a Facebook post yesterday. Mohd Nazari also emphasised his commitment to continue serving the party and strengthening unity among Umno Pasir Salak members. Tajuddin was suspended from Umno for six years in October 2022 over his criticism of party president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. On Nov 25 last year, Umno lifted the six-year suspension of Tajuddin, effective immediately. Umno secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said the decision was made in accordance with the party's constitution. The Supreme Council unanimously agreed to revoke Tajuddin's suspension in accordance with Clause 10.6 and Clause 5.3 of the party's constitution. On Sunday, Zahid praised Tajuddin's persistence and sincerity in returning to the party after being expelled. Zahid said Tajuddin had met the Prime Minister three times, asking to be accepted again as an Umno member and expressing his wish to "die as an Umno member." "He sent his wife, children, son-in-law, submitted three appeal letters, and even attended the General Assembly and several by-elections," Zahid said.

Umno divisional meetings best platform to raise grassroots voices
KUALA LUMPUR: The ongoing Umno Divisional Delegates' Meetings nationwide serve as the ideal platform for grassroots members to raise issues which require the attention of the party's top leadership. Umno secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki expressed hope that all representatives involved can make the most of the meeting space, which will run until July 27, so that all issues can be raised at the Umno General Assembly, from Aug 20 to 23. 'I recommend party members take this opportunity to engage in discussions at their respective divisional levels, and ensure that grassroots voices are brought to the attention of the Umno leadership,' he told reporters after attending the MARA-Petronas Automotive Entrepreneur Development Programme (PUMP), here, today. Asyraf Wajdi also described the party's nationwide branch-level meetings, held from April 7 to May 25 this year, as very encouraging, noting a significantly higher turnout compared with the previous year. He said that the positive response reflected a renewed sense of enthusiasm among grassroots members, who appeared increasingly committed to fulfilling their respective responsibilities.
