Former Negeri Sembilan menteri besar Mohd Isa Abdul Samad has been accepted back into Umno, said party secretary-general Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki.
He said this was decided at the Umno supreme council meeting chaired by president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi last night.
"Yes, this matter was decided at the meeting last night. The official letter has not been issued yet because the meeting ended at midnight and I did not have time to go to the office,” he told reporters at Wisma Umno Negeri Sembilan today.
Isa, 74, a former MP for Jempol, quit Umno in 2018 to contest in the Port Dickson parliamentary by-election then because Umno did not field a candidate.
Meanwhile, Isa (above) thanked the party leadership under Zahid for approving his application to join Umno which he submitted in July last year.
According to him, he is now a member of Bagan Pinang Umno and is prepared to help campaign for the government in the coming state election.
"Thank you for accepting me as an Umno member; I have never opposed the party. When I was out of Umno, I still supported the party; I attended all Umno election ceramah," he said.
