KUALA LUMPUR: Umno leaders have arrived to attend the party supreme council meeting on Saturday (Aug 27) night.

While the agenda of the meeting is not immediately known, it is believed the 15th general election (GE15) will be high on the programme’s list.

Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi will be chairing the meeting, expected to start at 9pm.

He was absent at the Umno special briefing held earlier due to his engagement commitment as Prime Minister.

At the special briefing, Ahmad Zahid said he would bring the party’s call for Parliament to be dissolved at the supreme council meeting tonight.

He said calls for polls were getting too loud to be ignored.
