ROS: Postponement of Umno's election is clear

PETALING JAYA: There is no issue on the postponement of the Umno’s party elections, says the Registrar of Societies (ROS) on Monday (Aug 30).

Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan said in a letter received from the registrar today that the party’s election postponement has no issue.

“Upon the checking made on my statements and documents submitted on Aug 9, 11, 18 and also a few statements from the supreme council members on Aug 24, it was found that the postponement was made properly,” he said.

With the announcement from ROS, the party’s election will be made on a date before December 2022 and will be informed to the registrar for approval.

“However, annual meetings for branches, divisions and general assembly with a quarter quorum of attendance will still be held in 2021,” Ahmad added.

Early in August, ROS ruled that Umno’s decision to postpone its party’s election was invalid due, as the term of the supreme council officer bearers for 2018/2021 had ended on June 30.
