The Umno Supreme Council meeting for January, scheduled for Thursday, will, among others, discuss the party's election, says secretary-general Ahmad Maslan.
"The Umno election has not been discussed. Of course, the (party) election can be discussed on Jan 5," he said at a press conference in conjunction with the 2022 Umno general assembly today.
Ahmad said the monthly meeting will also discuss invitations to the 2022 general assembly for the parties currently in the coalition government.
He added that an Umno management meeting will be held tonight, chaired by deputy president Mohamad Hasan.
On Dec 26, the Umno secretary-general said a decision on whether the position of president and deputy president will be contested would only be decided during the special Supreme Council meeting on Jan 12.
The 2022 general assembly, previously scheduled for Dec 21 to 24, 2022, was later postponed to Jan 11 to 14, 2023.
