PETALING JAYA: Umno should help the government and focus on the fight against Covid-19 instead of pushing for a fresh general election, says the party’s elections director, Tajuddin Abdul Rahman.
In a statement, the Pasir Salak MP said calls for a general election would only complicate the Perikatan Nasional government’s efforts to curb the spread of the virus.
“As the Umno elections director, I am committed to helping the government in the national agenda and freeing the people and the country from this pandemic.”

“The country is facing a spike in cases and deaths.
