UMNO's women's wing needs to break away from seasonal politics and engage with the public throughout the year if it wants to be seen as relevant again, especially by young women.
The call came from Wanita UMNO executive committee member Datuk Nurulhidayah Ahmad Zahid, who said the group must change its strategy for reaching voters.
She said strong party machinery alone no longer guarantees electoral support. Instead, UMNO needs to build a clearer narrative and strengthen its credibility.
