Umno did not give autonomy to its state and divisional leadership to cooperate with PAS and Bersatu for the upcoming general election, said party secretary-general Ahmad Maslan.

“All quarters should refer to the resolution agreed upon at Umno annual general assembly 2021,” he said.

It was reported that Selangor Umno wished to be granted autonomy so it could continue to work with PAS under the Muafakat Nasional (Muafakat) platform.

Several states including Penang had also expressed their wishes to continue cooperating with Bersatu and PAS.
