PD Bersatu defends proposed leadership change after backlash



Port Dickson Bersatu deputy chief Akkil Aizat Othman says he will not withdraw the motion which was unanimously approved at the division's AGM


Port Dickson Bersatu’s motion proposed that Hamzah Zainudin (left) take over as the party’s ‘main leader’, with party president Muhyiddin Yassin becoming an adviser and mentor instead.



PETALING JAYA: Port Dickson Bersatu has doubled down on its motion for a change in the party leadership, after a backlash from multiple party colleagues, including a vice-chief of the division.

Port Dickson Bersatu deputy chief Akkil Aizat Othman, who tabled the motion at the division’s annual general meeting (AGM) over the weekend, said he would not withdraw the proposal.

“I will not withdraw the motion. The division will issue a statement today to explain the contents of the motion,” he told FMT.


The division’s vice-chief, Shuhazlan Ali, claimed that the motion brought to the AGM was Akkil’s personal view and did not reflect the wishes of the grassroots in Port Dickson.

Akkil fired back, accusing Shuhazlan of not attending division meetings, including its AGM over the weekend.


“He only issued a press statement without reading the actual motion and which branch tabled it,” he said, denying that Port Dickson Bersatu was divided because of the motion.

Port Dickson Bersatu’s motion proposed that Hamzah Zainudin take over as the party’s “main leader”, with Muhyiddin Yassin becoming an adviser and mentor instead.

It also proposed that Bersatu vice-president Radzi Jidin handle the party’s administrative matters, currently managed by secretary-general Azmin Ali.

The motion was unanimously approved.

Bersatu information chief Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz however played it down, saying Muhyiddin still had the support of the majority of Bersatu’s grassroots to remain as party president.
