He later joined other top party leaders including vice-president Datuk Idris Ahmad.

A solidarity gathering had been planned on Monday to coincide with the Court of Appeal’s hearing related to an alleged royal addendum order that will allow Najib to serve the rest of his prison term under house arrest.

Initially, several parties and groups stated that they would attend the gathering.

Following a statement by Istana Negara and the advice of the Inspector-General of Police, most said they had decided against taking part.
