Bersatu appoints 12 reps in joint election strategy commitee with PAS

 

Bersatu has appointed 12 representatives for a Bersatu-PAS Consultative Committee to draw up a strategy for the next general election, said its secretary-general Hamzah Zainuddin.

According to Bernama, Hamzah (photo, above) said that Bersatu would continue to strengthen cooperation among Perikatan Nasional members, comprising PAS, Star, SAPP and Gerakan.

He also said that the coalition was ready to help the ruling Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS), which continues to support the leadership of Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, in the upcoming state election which is due soon as it has been nearly five years since the last state polls on May 7, 2016.

Bersatu also urged the Election Commission (EC) to speed up the implementation of the Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2019 on the 18-year-old voting age.

Hamzah said the move was necessary to recognise the role and involvement of youth in politics.

‘’The Bersatu Supreme Council Leadership Council (MPT) emphasises that the party recognises the role and active participation of youths in politics and community activities,’’ he said in a statement today following the MPT meeting yesterday.

Hamzah said that the MPT had also decided to speed up the appointment of the head of the party’s associate member division to empower and further boost their involvement in the party activities.

The associate members refer to Bersatu members who are not Bumiputera. Currently, Segamat MP Edmund Santhara, who defected from PKR, is the only Bersatu-affiliated MP who is not a bumiputera. - Mkini
