PETALING JAYA: Umno has sacked former Arau MP Shahidan Kassim and three others for contesting in the general election (GE15) under a different banner.

Apart from Shahidan, former Padang Besar MP Zahidi Zainul Abidin and former Maran MP Ismail Abd Muttalib were also sacked today.

In a statement, Umno secretary-general Ahmad Maslan said that Azhar Ahmad, who is contesting the Kuala Perlis state seat, also had his membership terminated.

Shahidan, Zahidi and Ismail were dropped from the list of Barisan Nasional (BN) candidates for GE15 which BN chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi announced last week.
