Umno confident ROS will approve no contest motion - Zahid

Umno is confident that the Registrar of Societies (ROS) will approve the motion passed at the 2022 Umno general assembly for the party’s presidency and deputy presidency to be uncontested at this year’s party polls.

Party president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said he was confident the party fully complied with all stipulated meeting regulations in line with the party’s constitution and had also given the necessary explanation to the ROS.

“I am confident that all Umno’s meeting regulations and Umno constitution have been fully adhered to. Clauses 9.3 and 9.4 of the party constitution have also been explained to the ROS,” he told reporters at the Parliament Media Centre in Kuala Lumpur today.

Zahid, who is also the deputy prime minister, said this when asked about the latest development on the issue, especially on the 60-day period given by the ROS to Umno to explain the no-contest motion following complaints by two Umno members - Muhammad Aizat Fikri Mohd Nasir and Muhammad Fiqri Firdaus Muhammad Rom from Terengganu and Negeri Sembilan.

Meanwhile, Zahid said Umno has started receiving nomination papers from those keen on contesting in the party polls.

“Doors are open for anyone to contest the contested posts. I just hope all candidates will adhere to the campaign guidelines issued by the Umno election committee chairperson Shahrir Samad,” he added.
