adminKUALA LUMPUR: UMNO has postponed this year’s UMNO Divisional Delegates’ Meeting as well as the Wanita, Youth and Puteri wings to focus fully on preparations for the Johor State Election (PRN).
UMNO secretary-general Datuk Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said the decision, which was agreed by the party’s Supreme Council, was aimed at ensuring that members at all levels could assist in the work to face the state election.
“In this regard, to ensure that the Women, Youth and Puteri representative meetings that need to be held in accordance with the UMNO Constitution, they will be held simultaneously throughout the country from 17 to 19 July.
“The Division Representative Meeting will be held the following week, from 24 to 26 July,” he said in a statement today.

The Johor state election in 2022 saw UMNO-Barisan Nasional win 40 out of the 56 seats contested, followed by Pakatan Harapan with 12 seats, Perikatan Nasional (three) and MUDA (one).
