We want Hisham back, says Sembrong Umno
Sembrong MP Hishammuddin Hussein was suspended from Umno for six years in January 2023 for breach of party discipline.
PETALING JAYA : Sembrong Umno has proposed that its suspended former division chief, Hishammuddin Hussein, be readmitted to the party leadership.
It suggested this at a meeting today officiated by Johor Umno chairman Onn Hafiz Ghazi, who said he will bring the matter up to the party leadership.
'Sembrong is not just a constituency. It was where I learnt how to fight, and the person that brought me here was Hishammuddin,' Utusan Malaysia quoted Onn Hafiz as saying.
He said the proposal reflected the grassroots' appreciation of Hishammuddin's leadership.
Hishammuddin, the Sembrong MP and former party vice-president, had his Umno membership suspended for six years, or for two terms in the Umno Supreme Council, from January 2023 for breach of party discipline.
