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 announced that party leaders will attend the PAS Youth muktamar in Kota Bharu, Kelantan on September 3. This visit is a response to an invitation from PAS Youth and may set the stage for a significant gathering at Umno's own assembly a week later on September 10. Umno Youth's assembly will focus on preparations for upcoming state and general elections, and an important agenda item will be collecting proposals from delegates for the Barisan Nasional (BN) election manifesto.
Akmal, who represents the Merlimau constituency, stated that the congress could contribute to fostering cross-wing ties between Umno and PAS, reflecting a warmer gesture aimed at Muslim unity. This follows Umno and PAS's alliance in the recent elections in Johor and Negeri Sembilan. Akmal has previously met PAS Youth chief Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamudden and welcomed PAS's support for BN candidates in Johor seats where the Perikatan Nasional (PN) was not contesting.
