KUALA LUMPUR: The UMNO Special General Assembly today unanimously approved a motion to amend its constitution, which, among other things, allows party elections to be held no more than six months after a general election (GE).
UMNO secretary-general Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan confirmed the matter via his Twitter page.
"The party's constitutional amendment was approved unanimously by the delegates in #Dewan Merdeka, #PWTC, #WTCKL on 15/5/2022. Alhamdulillah," he said in his latest tweet.
The motion for the amendment, which involves Clause 10.16, Clause 15.3 and Clause 18.2, was tabled by UMNO vice-president Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled, before 2,586 delegates who were present at the special meeting.
UMNO previously postponed party elections at its branches, divisions and the Supreme Council levels for 18 months after the 2018/2021 term ended on June 30 last year.
The 18-month period will end by the end of this year and UMNO elections must be held before Dec 30, 2022.
