Umno, PAS team up for Melaka polls

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – Umno will continue its political cooperation with PAS in contesting for the upcoming Melaka election, said Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan.

He said the Umno Supreme Council during a meeting last night agreed this is in line with Umno’s aim to consolidate the Muafakat Nasional pact, which was decided during its 2020 Umno General Assembly.

The decision, he said, was made during the meeting chaired by Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

However, he said, PAS will be using its own party logo during the upcoming polls.

“The basis of the cooperation with PAS is guided by the principle that PAS will use its own party symbol in line with the spirit and resolutions made by the Muafakat Nasional Consultative Committee on October 19 and November 18 last year,” Ahmad said in a statement.

“This is to avoid clashes with each other, and at the same time, maintain the use of our respective party logos in the election.”
