UMNO General Assembly (Part 2) — Unsettled Road to GE16?

UMNO General Assembly (Part 2) — Unsettled Road to GE16?

The 2025 UMNO General Assembly is finally taking place after being delayed several times, and is coming at a pivotal moment for the party. While UMNO has gained Cabinet positions as part of the Unity Government, its alliance with Pakatan Harapan, particularly DAP, continues to divide its grassroots. It seems, at least from the outside, that the party still is struggling to define its role, its identity, and its future direction. Can UMNO figure out what it wants to be, and who it wants to represent, ahead of the next general election? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Dr Syaza Shukri, Associate Professor of Political Science, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM).
