00:00UMNO President Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says the party's doors are unconditionally open to former members
00:06and that all past mistakes and differences will be forgiven in the spirit of Ramadan.
00:11Zahid said UMNO viewed Ramadan a month that invites Muslims to reflect men relationships and strengthen brotherhood
00:18as the best opportunity to rebuild the party's bonds.
00:22In a statement today, he said the Rumah Bangsa Task Force, chaired by party vice president Khalid Nordin,
00:28would coordinate the re-entry process for former members wishing to return.
00:33On February 10th, Zahid said the party remained open to welcoming back former members,
00:38including now former Bersatu Deputy President Hamza Zainuddin.
00:41He said the Rumah Bangsa initiative provided an open platform for anyone wishing to return to or join UMNO,
00:48whether individually or as part of a group.
00:50UMNO suffered a slew of defections to Bersatu after Barisan Nationals' fall from power in 2018.
00:56On Tuesday, Bersatu President Muhyiddin Yassin also accused Hamza of holding covert talks with Zahid
01:03to form a new political configuration that would see Hamza appointed Deputy Prime Minister
01:08while another leader held the top post.
