PETALING JAYA: Umno has decided to terminate the membership of four big names who went rogue to stand as candidates for rival parties or as Independents, says Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan.
The Umno secretary-general said that the four – Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim, Datuk Zahidi Zainul Abidin, Datuk Seri Ismail Abd Muttalib and Datuk Azhar Ahmad – had violated the party constitution by doing so.
"Expelling the four is in line with Clause 20.11 of the Umno constitution which states that 'a member who wins contesting and leaves the party, or contests as an independent candidate or for a rival party in a parliamentary or state election will have his or her membership terminated automatically'.
