Umno Youth leaders to attend PAS Youth congress
Dr Akmal Saleh says he has given his commitment to attend after receiving an invitation from his PAS counterpart.
Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh has announced that he and other party leaders will attend the PAS Youth muktamar in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, on September 3. This gathering could potentially pave the way for larger events at Umno's own assembly the following week. The invitation to attend the congress was extended by PAS Youth, signaling a potential improvement in relations between the two factions, which are part of the Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional coalitions. The meeting aims to strengthen cross-wing ties and promote Muslim unity.
Following his attendance at an investiture ceremony in Ayer Keroh, Akmal confirmed his commitment to the PAS Youth congress. He also met PAS Youth chief Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamudden in June, and expressed his support for the party's decision to endorse BN candidates in Johor state where PN was not contesting.
Umno Youth's general assembly on September 10 will primarily concentrate on preparations for upcoming state and general elections. One of the agenda items will be gathering proposals from delegates to include in BN's election manifesto. During this assembly, the floor will be opened for delegates to suggest the most effective ideas to be incorporated into the manifesto, with these proposals subsequently being discussed at the highest levels of the party for a decision.
