Each of the top leadership of Pejuang must perform 'bai'ah' (oath of allegiance) to the party, said its president Mukhriz Mahathir.
Mukhriz said that although the move may not serve as a guarantee for those involved not to defect, he hoped they will stick to their oath.
“The state top leadership should also perform the bai'ah, but ordinary members will be excluded,” he said at an online press conference today, where he also introduced several new appointments to the party’s central executive council.
Former Bersatu Youth information chief Ulya Uqamah Husamudin was appointed as the party information chief, former Ikram vice-president Asmah Ibrahim was appointed as Pejuanita (women) chief, Abu Hafiz Salleh Hudin was appointed as Pejuang Muda (youth) chief, while former Umno Puteri division information chief Nurul Ashikin Nabahwi was appointed Pejuanita Muda chief.
Also announced was the appointment of the heads of several bureaus such as welfare, legal, economic and unity.
Asked whether the party was ready to face the general election, Mukhriz said that preparations had been made in that direction.
Commenting on the conditions to join Pejuang, Mukhriz said that several screenings would be made, especially for individuals for the top positions.
“For certain, the ‘court cluster’ will not be accepted,” he said, referring to politicians who face cases in court.
