He said the focus will be on the political and economic stability of the country and it will be chaired by Bersatu vice-president Radzi Jidin with representatives of PN component parties in the committee.

“This manifesto focuses not only on political stability but also on economic development by providing job opportunities to the people,” he said after officiating at Labuan Bersatu’s Srikandi (women’s wing) and Armada (Youth wing) annual meeting here today.

Hamzah, who is also home minister, said the committee will ensure that the pledges contained in the manifesto can be achieved.

On the likely split of Malay votes between Bersatu and Umno in GE15, he said Bersatu was now becoming more accepted by the people, including in Labuan, adding that many former Umno members had joined the party.

Since Bersatu was established six years ago, over 600,000 have registered as party members, he said.
