Umno Supreme Council to decide on inviting other parties to assembly

 

Umno will hold its general assembly from Jan 11 to 14.

KUALA LUMPUR: Umno’s Supreme Council will decide on Thursday whether to invite other parties in the unity government to its general assembly, party secretary-general Ahmad Maslan said.

“Wait for the outcome (of the meeting on Thursday),” he said at a press conference at the party’s headquarters here.

Umno will hold its general assembly from Jan 11 to 14.

On Sunday, PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli said the party would make a collective decision on whether to attend the Umno general assembly if invited.

Umno and PKR, which were previously political rivals, are now part of Anwar Ibrahim’s unity government, with Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi as the deputy prime minister.

Separately, Ahmad said delegates would only debate the president’s policy speech at the Umno general assembly, and that no other motions will be tabled due to time constraints. - FMT
