JOHOR BARU – Amanah will need to consult with Umno if there are any individuals who were expelled from Umno wanting to join the Pakatan Harapan (PH) component party.
Amanah deputy president Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub said it should be done for the sake of harmonious relations between PH and Barisan Nasional, who are now working together in the unity government.
“We will talk with Umno first, meet and negotiate if we feel it is necessary. However, (discussions) will only be carried out if that happens.”
Salahuddin, who is also the Johor PH chairman, said this to reporters at the coalition Chinese New Year 2023 celebration here last night.
Also present were state DAP chairman Liew Chin Tong and state PKR chief Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh.
In January, Umno expelled several members, including Supreme Council member Tan Sri Noh Omar and former youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin, for violating party discipline.
Earlier at the same event, Salahuddin, who is also Domestic Trade and Cost of Living minister, received applications from 400 new members of the Pulai division.
He said the new members can help strengthen Amanah. – Bernama, February 11, 2023
