Umno failed to learn from past mistakes, observers say
Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and his deputy Mohamad Hasan at a press conference on November 21. Political pundits say it was suicidal for Zahid to drop several warlords from contesting in the polls. – The Malaysian Insight pic by Afif Abd Halim, November 22, 2022.
Umno won only 26 parliamentary seats on Saturday, one of its worst election defeats since the country’s independence. He added that Umno’s failure to compete with PN via social media during the campaign period was another reason why the Malay party lost so many seats to PN. “It was like BN gave PN a free ride during the campaign period. They did not even try to compete or challenge PN. Therefore, first-time voters were easily influenced by PN,” said Hisommudin.PN and PAS won 51 and 22 seats respectively, for a combined total of 73.
“Umno was defending crooks and this behaviour is not what the Malays like. It is okay to defend someone who has not been found guilty but to support someone who is already in jail. That was a key moment for the Malays to look for a clean Malay party.
