KUALA LUMPUR: The decision regarding the application of Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) and a few others to join Barisan Nasional (BN) will be discussed and decided tomorrow, said BN deputy chairman Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.
Mohamad, however, declined to reveal any information about the other parties wanting to join BN.
"Their request to join BN will be decided at the BN Supreme Council meeting tomorrow night," he said after the opening of the Wanita BN Convention at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL) here today.
The BN Supreme Council meeting is expected to take place tomorrow night at WTCKL.
Previously, PBM leader Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin said her party had sent an application to BN to join the coalition.
Earlier in his opening speech, Mohamad said elements such as supporting candidates that voters like and want will be among the party's strategies for the 15th General Election (GE15).
"For GE15, I want to ask for a list of candidates as early as possible. We must pick the candidates the voters want, not the one the division head wants, or the one we want."
Asked if that meant there will be many new faces named as candidates, he said it depended on the support received by the candidates.
"If the old faces still receive support, we will retain them, in addition to choosing suitable new candidates."--BERNAMA
