Perikatan chairman need not be party president, says Takiyuddin

KUALA LUMPUR: The Perikatan Nasional constitution does not stipulate that its chairman must be chosen from among the presidents of its component parties, says Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan.

The Perikatan deputy secretary-general said the coalition’s constitution only requires that the chairman be agreed upon and appointed by the coalition's supreme council.
