KUALA LUMPUR – Datuk Seri Noraini Ahmad today announced that she has retained the Wanita Umno head post. 

Noraini, in a post on her Facebook, thanked all Wanita Umno members who supported her in the party elections. 

“Alhamdullillah. All praise be to Allah SWT. My unreserved thanks to Wanita Umno throughout the country and my friends at #SusahSenangBersama for your support and trust in me as the Wanita Umno head.

“Together, let’s continue to empower Wanita to realise our efforts to bring the movement to the next level!” she said.
