KUALA LUMPUR: Umno has announced that it will not field any candidate in the upcoming May 11 Sandakan parliamentary by-election.
Umno deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said the party would not do so because it has never contested in the seat, which was traditionally represented by a fellow Sabah Barisan Nasional component party.
The Sandakan by-election was called after the death of Sabah DAP chairman Datuk Stephen Wong on March 28. On a separate matter, Mohamad also announced that the Umno general assembly this year will be held from Nov 13 to 16. Among others, he said, the amendments will look at easing new members’ registration and giving full autonomy to the Sabah chapter.
