KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has highlighted the need for the coalition to amend its “outdated” constitution and cleanse the party of enemies from within.

Zahid wants the constitution tweaked to remove a clause that gives a veto power to component parties on applications by new parties wanting to join the coalition.

“It is a constitution that is outdated and needs to be changed,” he said, adding that BN also needs to move with all races to bring about “nation-building”.

According to Zahid, there were currently eight parties deemed “friends of BN”, but that are unable to be a full component of the coalition.

“There are also another seven more parties that have applied to join the coalition.
