MACHANG – Umno is refining its statutory declaration (SD) document for candidates who will be fielded in the Sabah state election, taking into account the current political landscape.
Its secretary-general, Datuk Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, said this is being done by the party’s legal team, including Umno information chief Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.
“For the Sabah state election, we will use the same template, but with enhancements based on the present situation. So far, we believe the SD signed during the last general election is still sufficient,” he said.
He was speaking to reporters after officiating the Machang UMNO Division Meeting at Pusat Transformasi Ilmu, Bukit Tiu here last night, with Kelantan Umno Liaison Committee chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Jazlan Yaakub also present.
The current five-year term of the 16th Sabah state assembly will expire automatically on November 11. – June 28, 2025
