BANGI - Umno will be gathering all findings of post-mortems which are being carried out to identify the weaknesses which contributed to the losses of seats contested by the party in the recent state elections in six states on Aug 12.

its vice-president Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said currently, post-mortems are being conducted at the party’s state and wing levels.

"I believe each state and wing are carrying out the study before we gather them (findings),” he told reporters after opening the maiden edition of Premier MADANI Debate 2023 at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) here today.
