KUALA LUMPUR – Umno candidates for the 15th general election (GE15) must support party president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi as prime minister candidate, a leaked statement now going viral on Twitter shows.
They must also push the new government to drop court cases involving Umno and BN leaders, as well as any ongoing investigations that involve them.
The document is an “akujanji” or oath declaration bearing Umno’s letterhead and signed by the candidate as well as Zahid and Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan.
The leaked document bears Lenggong candidate Datuk Seri Dr Shamsul Anuar Nasarah’s name and his signature. Shamsul is also BN Communications (BN Comms) director.
The BN Comms Facebook page, however, has denied the document and called it a fake.
“BN Comms director Shamsul Anuar denies the document and considers the actions of those spreading false information as slanderous and aimed at tarnishing Umno-BN’s image,” BN Comms said.
The document also states that the candidate must support any action by Zahid as Umno president and BN chairman to hold post-election talks with parties or political coalitions, in the event BN fails to win enough seats to form a government. – The Vibes, November 2, 2022
