MACHANG: Umno is refining its statutory declaration (SD) document for candidates who will be fielded in the Sabah state election, taking into account the current political landscape.
Its secretary-general, Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said this is being done by the party’s legal team, which includes Umno information chief Azalina Othman Said.
“For the Sabah state election, we will use the same template, but with enhancements based on the present situation. For now, we believe the SD signed during the last general election (GE15) is still sufficient,” he said.
He was speaking to reporters after officiating the Machang Umno division meeting in Kelantan last night.
The current five-year term of the 16th Sabah state assembly will expire automatically on Nov 11.
