Umno to stay with BN in GE16, going solo would show ‘arrogance and pride’ like past leaders
ARAU, July 6 — Umno will not contest the 16th General Election (GE16) on its own and must work with other parties or coalitions, the party’s secretary-general Datuk Seri Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki reportedly said
Utusan Malaysia cited him saying Umno had historically never stood for elections independently, noting that the party initially formed the Alliance Party with MCA and MIC between 1957 and 1973, and later expanded into Barisan Nasional (BN).
“Today, I believe it’s impossible and unlikely for Umno to go solo, as it would only reflect arrogance and pride — something that some past leaders were guilty of.
“Even when Umno was strong in the past, we still relied on our political partners,” he reportedly said.
