Umno to decide on re-entry of ex-PKR members in three weeks

NST - [...] The decision to accept former Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) members into Umno may be known within the next three weeks, said Umno information chief Tan Sri Muhammad Muhammad Taib.
The Rural and Regional Development Minister said the matter had to be decided at the Supreme Council (MT) level and the next MT meeting might be held in three weeks’ time.

Muhammad disclosed this to reporters after attending the ministry’s monthly assembly and opening a day-long seminar entitled Generating Potentials of Human Capital organised by the ministry, here today.

Former PKR Youth chief Mohamad Ezam Mohd Nor and former PKR Permatang Pauh division head Anuar Shaari, who had left Umno to join the PKR, now wanted to return to Umno.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, however, had said that only the MT had the power to approve their re-admission, and the matter would be tabled by Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor.
In another matter, Muhammad did not rule out the possibility that there were several cases where applications to become members of the party had taken a long time.
