"The Unity Government secretariat will discuss with party leaders to set a suitable date for the convention,” he told a media conference after chairing the Unity Government secretariat meeting, the second one to be held, here tonight. Also present were Deputy Prime Ministers Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman, and Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, who is Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) chief whip.
