Khairy ready for 'brotherly' discussion with Mohamad over Rembau Parliamentary seat

Rembau Member of Parliament Khairy Jamaluddin is ready to have a "brotherly" discussion with UMNO vice-president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan, who recently announced that he will be contesting the parliamentary seat in the 15th General Election (GE15).

"This matter can be discussed because Mohamad and I are from the same division, where he is the Rembau UMNO Division head and I am the deputy.

"So, let's have a 'brotherly' discussion before making a decision," he said when met by reporters during lunch at the district polling centre (PDM) in Felda Besout 2 here today.

Also present was Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate for the Slim state by-election, Mohd Zaidi Aziz.

Khairy was commenting on a statement by Mohamad, who announced that he would be contesting the Rembau parliamentary seat in GE15 when officiating the Sri Kota UMNO branch meeting on Aug 8.
