Bersatu’s extraordinary general meeting (EGM), to be held soon, will discuss the appointment of Mohamed Azmin Ali as one of the party’s vice presidents, said party deputy president Ahmad Faizal Azumu.
Ahmad Faizal, who is the Perak menteri besar, said the EGM was primarily to amend the party constitution to attract more non-Malay and non-Bumiputera members.
He was speaking to reporters after visiting the Slim by-election media centre in Slim River, where Azmin, as well as Communications and Multimedia Minister Saifuddin Abdullah, were also present.
Yesterday at the Kongress Negara event in Kuala Lumpur, Azmin, who is the former PKR deputy president, officially announced that he and his supporters were joining Bersatu.
They later received his Bersatu membership card from party president Muhyiddin Yassin.
The party's three current vice presidents are Agriculture and Food Industries Minister Ronald Kiandee, Senior Minister of Education Mohd Radzi Md Jidin, and Paya Rumput assembyperson Mohd Rafiq Naizamohideen.
Currently, Segamat MP Edmund Santhara Kumar, who was one of the 10 MPs sacked from PKR, is the only non-Bumiputera MP to be an associate member of Bersatu.
