UMNO/BN members contesting for other parties or as Independent will be automatically dropped, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

He is referring to Shahidan Kassim or Arau who is contesting for Perikatan Nasional and Zahidi Zainul Abidin, the Padang Besar MP who will stand as an Independent.

Both were dropped by BN during the announcement of candidates recently.
