Mohd Rafiq Will Officially Rejoin Umno Next Month After Party Elections

Datuk Mohd Rafiq Naizamohideen confirmed his official return to Umno will take place next month, following the party's internal elections scheduled for March 18. His application to rejoin the party was submitted a few weeks prior, and Umno's supreme council formally approved his acceptance during their meeting last Thursday night.
Application and Approval Process

Mohd Rafiq submitted his application to rejoin Umno a few weeks ago. The party's supreme council subsequently agreed to accept his application during a meeting held last Thursday night. This decision marks a significant step in his political career after a period away from the party.
Timing of Rejoining

The official rejoining of Umno by Mohd Rafiq is slated for next month, specifically after the party's internal elections on March 18. This timing ensures his return occurs in the context of the party's ongoing leadership and structural processes.
Motivation for Rejoining

Mohd Rafiq clarified that his decision to rejoin Umno was not influenced by the party's current position in the unity government. He stated that the decision, along with his colleagues, to support Umno was made prior to the 15th General Election (GE15), at a time when the future government's composition was uncertain.
Previous Departure from Umno

Mohd Rafiq originally left Umno in 2016. This departure followed a six-year suspension and his removal as an executive committee member of Umno's Youth wing. He was a known supporter of Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin before Muhyiddin co-founded Bersatu.
Recent Political Affiliations

Following his departure from Umno, Mohd Rafiq became involved with Bersatu. He resigned as the head of the Melaka Perikatan Nasional coalition and the Bersatu state chapter in 2021 after failing to secure victory in the Teluk Mas state seat during the Melaka state election. Subsequently, he quit Bersatu entirely in November after not being selected as its candidate for the Tangga Batu parliamentary seat in the general election.
