Umno assembly to focus on general election

comments     Published     Updated

Umno is not holding its party polls this year so the party's general assembly is likely to focus on the general election instead.

According to Umno secretary-general Khalil Yaakob, the discussion on the general election is inevitable as everyone is talking about it.

As to whether this will be the last Umno general assembly before the general election, we do not know, for this will be up to the Umno president to decide," Khalil was quoted by Bernama as saying today.

Memorable one

This year's Umno assembly would be a historic and memorable one as it would be the last with Dr Mahathir Mohamad at the helm as he was scheduled to retire in October this year.

Khalil said he had directed the Umno secretariat to make all necessary preparations for the party assembly adding that the various plans and programmes for the assembly will be tabled at the Umno management committee chaired by deputy president Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
