Umno will steer clear of negative tactics during its campaigns for the forthcoming Johor and Negri Sembilan state elections, according to party secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki. The focus instead will remain on substantive policy proposals and tangible benefits for constituents.
The party is positioning itself to contest on the strength of its platform and vision for economic development and public welfare in both states. Rather than resorting to character attacks or mudslinging, Umno aims to differentiate itself through concrete policy offerings.
Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki's statement underscores the party's strategic choice to elevate campaign discourse above personal criticism. This approach signals Umno's confidence in its policy framework and ability to persuade voters through substantive messaging.
The commitment reflects broader efforts within Malaysian politics to maintain campaign standards focused on issues rather than personal or institutional attacks. Both Johor and Negri Sembilan voters will be presented with policy platforms designed to address local economic and social priorities.
