## Najib's conditional pardon
Najib was granted a conditional pardon allowing him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028, subject to payment of a RM50 million fine.
## Khaled Nordin's statement
Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said Loke's resignation offer is entirely his own matter from Umno's perspective.

## Political stability
Other DAP ministers and deputy ministers will remain in the unity government to ensure political stability after Loke's resignation offer.
## Constitutional decision
Khaled emphasized that Najib's pardon falls under the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's constitutional rights, a decision respected by Umno.
## Najib's sentence
Najib has been serving a six-year prison sentence at Kajang Prison since August 2022 after the Federal Court upheld his conviction and 12-year jail term for misappropriating RM42 million from SRC International.
## Key takeaway

Umno vice-president Khaled Nordin states Anthony Loke's resignation offer as Transport Minister follows Najib's conditional pardon and house arrest, which he says is entirely his personal matter.
