Gerakan to discuss call for EGM

KUALA LUMPUR: The call for Gerakan to have an extraordinary meeting (EGM) over whether the party should stay with Barisan Nasional will be discussed within the party, Gerakan acting president Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon said.

He added that the call for the EGM was a suggestion by Kedah Gerakan Youth.

“They claim to have the support of three other states, but the three states said they have not come to the same position.

“Whatever it is, it will be discussed internally,” he told reporters yesterday during the Prime Minister’s Hari Raya open house at the Putra World Trade Centre.

“Since they said we should have a session together within a year, we still have some time to discuss internally.

“So let’s get the party delegates’ conference and elections over, and then we will move forward,” he said.

It was reported that the Gerakan Central Committee, the party’s highest decision-making body, had concluded that the party should call an EGM to discuss the calls for evaluating the party’s effectiveness in the Barisan.
