MELAKA– Several UMNO factions in Melaka have rejected cooperation between Umno and Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) party leaders in the November 20 general election.

Speaking on behalf of the group, Datuk Seri Muhammad Ali Mohammed, Tanga Batu Umno branch chief, said the decision was made to respect the party’s basic demands and other possible reasons for cooperation.

“This decision is on the will of the key people. This is our last post and we will not discuss or discuss with Bersatu from now on,” he said.

Also present were Kota Melaka Umno division chief Datuk Abdul Razak Abdul Rahman, Hang Tuah Jaya division chief Datuk Mohammad Ridhwan Muhammad Ali and Alor Gazah deputy division chief Datuk Rozpandi Leman.

Muhammad Ali Umno wants Mufakat to strengthen national cooperation with MMB ahead of the Melaka election.

“Therefore, I urge all Umno and MMB members to unite for the benefit of all the people of Melaka in order to win the Melaka election,” he said.

State elections will be held on November 20 and candidates on November 8.

The state election was held after the dissolution of the Melaka State Assembly on October 4, which began after the four states refused to support Prime Minister Datuk Seri Suleiman Mohammed Ali.
