Mr Muhyiddin Yassin will be the president of the new political party backed by Dr Mahathir Mohamad and will be officially registering the party with the Registrar of Societies (RoS) on Friday (Aug 5).
“We had our first meeting last night chaired by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
“TSMY as the president will submit the application to ROS tomorrow, Friday,” former Wanita Umno leader Anina Saadudin told Malay Mail Online when contacted, using the initials for Mr Muhyiddin.
Ms Anina was present at the meeting on Wednesday night along with Mr Muhyiddin, Mr Mukhriz Mahathir, Gabungan Ketua Cawangan Malaysia president Kamarul Azman Habibur Rahman and student group Challenger leader Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman.
Ms Anina added that the pro-tem committee members for the new party are Dr Mahathir, Mr Muhyiddin, herself, Mr Kamarulzaman, Mr Syed Saddiq and Mr Akhramsyah Muammar Ubaidah Sanusi.
Mr Muhyiddin also confirmed this in a Facebook posting on Thursday morning, and that a meeting on the matter was held last night.
“I will be submitting an application to the Registrar of Societies and register this new political party in the near future.
“Let’s us all pray that the application is approved. Insyaallah we will do the best for the rakyat and the country,” Mr Muhyiddin said.
Dr Mahathir confirmed recently that he will be a founding member of a new political party that will ally with Pakatan Harapan to ensure straight fights against the BN ruling coalition in the coming general elections.
