Tok Mat appointed Umno election director, replaces Tajuddin

PETALING JAYA: Umno deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan has been appointed as party election director with immediate effect, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

Mohamad is also Barisan Nasional and Umno War Room chairman.

“Mohamad's post as Barisan deputy chairman will make the decision-making process much easier with regard to election preparations that involve all Barisan component parties,” Ahmad Zahid said in a statement Tuesday (July 13).

The Umno president also noted that the restructuring of Umno's election department would strengthen the organisation at every level of the party, including at the grassroots level.
