FORMER Umno Youth vice-chief Khairul Azwan Harun is contesting in the Umno Supreme Council election for the 2023-2026 term. 

Khairul Azwan, fondly called ‘Azwan Bro’, said he would use his experience as a former Umno Youth leader and former Umno Supreme Council member to contribute to strengthening the party. 

Khairul Azwan, 46, who is Pasir Salak division deputy chief, is also vying for the division chief post and leading his ‘Strengthening Pasir Salak’ team in the divisional contests. 

“I’m using my experience at the grassroots level since 2001 to forge a new leadership line-up to manage the party and serve the community in Pasir Salak,” he told Bernama today. 

The Pasir Salak division chief post fell vacant after the incumbent and former Pasir Salak MP Tajuddin Abdul Rahman was suspended for six years on disciplinary grounds by the party. 

Khairul Azwan’s Pasir Salak team includes the following candidates and the posts they are vying for: Ramelle Ashram Ramli (division deputy chief), Mohd Nazari Sabran (vice-chief), Wan Norashikin Wan Noordin (Wanita chief), and Mohd Yafiz Mohamad Mustapa (Umno Youth chief). 

In a statement, Khairul Azwan said his team comprised experienced and qualified locals. 

“We are committed and determined to introduce changes and improvements to the leadership style and party management in serving the community in Pasir Salak,” he added – Bernama, February 28, 2023.
