PBM and other parties want to join BN, decision tomorrow - Tok Mat

The decision regarding the application of Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) and a few others to join BN will be discussed and decided tomorrow, said coalition deputy chairperson Mohamad Hasan.

Mohamad, however, declined to reveal any information about other parties wanting to join BN.

“I won’t say anything, but their request to join BN will be decided at the BN supreme council meeting tomorrow night,” he told reporters after the opening of the Wanita BN Convention at the World Trade Centre (WTC) today.

The BN supreme council meeting is expected to take place tomorrow night at WTC.

Previously, PBM leader Zuraida Kamaruddin (above, right) said her party had sent an application to join BN.

Earlier in his opening speech, Mohamad said elements such as candidates that voters like and want will be among the strategies for the 15th general election (GE15).

“For this GE15, I want to ask for a list of candidates as early as possible. We must put down the candidates that the voters want, not the one the division heads want, or the ones we want,” he added.

Asked if it means there will be many new faces named as candidates, Mohamad said it depends on the support received by the candidates.

“If the old faces still have support, we will retain them, in addition to choosing suitable new candidates,” he added.
