The Election Commission has struck an agreement with Umno to hire members of its Puteri wing to work as part-time administrative assistants to prepare for the coming general election, a PAS parliamentarian told the Dewan Rakyat today.

Pokok Sena MP Mahfuz Omar claimed that he has documentary evidence in the form of correspondence exchanged between EC officials and Puteri Umno chief Azalina Othman Said.
