Zahid expected to attend PAS muktamar tomorrow
The last time Umno leaders attended the PAS muktamar was in 2019, when it was held in Pahang.
Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is anticipated to attend PAS’s 72nd muktamar in Pengkalan Chepa near Kota Bharu, Malaysia. It has been nearly a decade since he last attended the Islamic party’s annual meeting. The Barisan Nasional chairman is expected to be accompanied by Umno secretary-general Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki and other state and divisional Umno leaders.
An Umno source confirmed Zahid's attendance, noting that the last time Umno leaders joined the PAS muktamar was in 2019 during the Muafakat Nasional pact era. This pact ended when PAS formed Perikatan Nasional (PN) with Bersatu. PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan revealed that Umno leaders were invited this year due to Umno's status as a strategic partner in the BN-PN alliance, which recently won the Negeri Sembilan election. PAS currently serves as the chair of PN.
