Background

In the aftermath of the 2022 Malaysian general election, Khairy Jamaluddin, Noh Omar, Shahril Sufian Hamdan and several UMNO leaders called for party leader Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to resign.^[1]

Controversies

On 14 January 2023, the UMNO general assembly has given consent to a motion for the posts of president and deputy president not to be contested at the coming party polls. Therefore, President of UMNO, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Deputy President of UMNO, Mohamad Hasan will remain at their position respectively for another term until 2026.^[2]

On 28 January 2023, Khairy Jamaluddin and Noh Omar was sacked from the party while Hishammuddin Hussein, Shahril Sufian Hamdan, Maulizan Bujang and Salim Shariff was suspended their membership for six years by the UMNO supreme council.^[3]
