PETALING JAYA: Umno Youth chief Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki says that the top leadership has agreed unanimously to call for the 15th general election (GE15) only after July next year but before the party elections.

Asyraf said the matter was decided upon during an Umno Supreme Council meeting recently. “We fully agreed for the election to be held after July but before Umno’s party elections,” he told FMT.

Separately, an Umno division in Negeri Sembilan has resolved that party elections should be held first before any general election is called. Jelubu division chief Jalaluddin Alias said earlier that party elections would ensure that the party’s machinery would have a renewed mandate from members, and be more prepared to face GE15.
