Umno holds meeting to discuss GE15 manifesto

Umno leaders are holding a meeting tonight to discuss the party’s manifesto for the 15th general election (GE15).

Umno vice-president Mohamed Khaled Nordin, who arrived at Menara Dato Onn in Kuala Lumpur at about 7.40pm, confirmed the matter.

“To discuss the manifesto,” he said in a brief reply to reporters when asked about his presence tonight.

Also seen arriving as of 8pm were former PAS central committee member Mohd Khairuddin Aman Razali and Federal Territory Umno liaison chairperson Johari Abdul Ghani, who is also an Umno supreme council member.

Previously, the supreme council said it wanted Parliament to be dissolved soon to enable GE15 to be held this year.

Umno secretary-general Ahmad Maslan also reportedly said that was among the decisions made at the supreme council meeting on Sept 30.

Meanwhile, Ahmad (above) told reporters the meeting tonight was merely a routine gathering with no special or sudden agenda to be discussed.

He said Umno held meetings all the time to discuss all sorts of matters and tonight’s meeting was no different.

When asked if the party leadership will be discussing the GE15 manifesto, Ahmad said such matters were considered a normal agenda in the run-up to an election.
