PETALING JAYA – The Pakatan Harapan (PH) convention, originally slated for October 29, has been brought forward to October 20, which is when the Election Commission (EC) will meet to decide key dates for the 15th general election (GE15).
PH communications director Fahmi Fadzil said the convention will still be held in Perak, with the exact location to be announced later.
“So if the EC announces the (GE15) date that evening, we will welcome it with a convention in Perak,” he said when met by reporters after attending the PH presidential council meeting here today.
On Sunday (October 8), Perak PH chairman Datuk Seri Mujahid Yusof Rawa had said the PH convention would be held on October 29 at Ipoh International Convention Centre.
The EC will be meeting on October 20 to discuss and decide on the key dates of GE15 and also the Bugaya by-election in Sabah.
