PETALING JAYA: Former minister Mustapa Mohamed has rejoined Umno, less than two years after announcing his retirement from politics and resigning from Bersatu in 2024.
The former Umno Supreme Council member and Kelantan Umno chief is among those who have returned to the party after it launched its online membership registration drive on April 20, said Umno secretary-general Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki in a Facebook post.
Mustapa, also known as Tok Pa, left Umno in September 2018 after more than 40 years in the party, citing differences over its direction following the 14th general election.
He then joined Bersatu and later served as minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (economic affairs) under the Perikatan Nasional administration.
In 2024, he announced his retirement from politics and resigned from Bersatu, as well as from all party and government positions.
Asyraf said a total of 21,858 new and returning members have registered with Umno over the last two months.
He also cited several other prominent figures who have returned to Umno, including former ministers Hishammuddin Hussein, Khairy Jamaluddin, Noh Omar and Syed Hamid Albar.
He hoped the party would continue to strengthen its role in serving the nation.
