IPOH: Umno members need to respect the decisions made during the party's general assembly, says Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad.
The Perak Umno chief, who is also the Mentri Besar, also advised party members to be well-behaved.
“The general assembly is the highest entity in the party, so any decision made during it must be respected by all members.
“Whether we agree or not with the decisions made, we have to respect them,” he told reporters after attending a ground-breaking ceremony in Lahat on Tuesday (Jan 17).
On Jan 15, during the party general assembly, Umno delegates had given overwhelming support to a motion of no contest for the party president and deputy president posts in the upcoming party polls.
Party president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan will retain their posts for another term.
Umno polls must be held before May 19, six months after the conclusion of the 15th General Election.
