KUALA LUMPUR, April 25 — Umno party elections, which are slated for June, could be postponed, Mingguan Malaysia reported today.

An unnamed party insider told the Malay daily that this was due to concerns over the rise in Covid-19 case numbers in the country. 

“Umno is well aware of the worrying Covid-19 situation; however, the issue of party elections should be hashed out in the meeting. But the decision will not necessarily be made tomorrow. 

“We do not need to rush it. We have to take into account the rights of all members to vote in the elections. But the increase in Covid-19 cases has raised the question of how the elections will be executed,” said the source to the Sunday edition of Utusan Malaysia.
