AMANAH would need to consult Umno first, if it wished to accept any of the recently expelled Umno members, according to Amanah deputy president Salahuddin Ayub.

He said discussions would be required to maintain the current harmony between Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN), once sworn enemies 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,” he said in Johor Baru last night.

In January, Umno expelled several people, including supreme councillor Noh Omar and former youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin for violating party discipline.

He said that new members can help strengthen Amanah. – Bernama, February 11, 2023.
