ALOR SETAR: Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia will be holding party elections soon to decide who leads the party, says its chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
“Bersatu has split into two, with some members following the president and some following the chairman.Asked which faction is the ‘real’ Bersatu, he replied: “We are still one Bersatu but there is a faction that follows Najib”.
Some Bersatu members, together with Barisan Nasional and PAS, have since come together to form Perikatan Nasional, which has endorsed Muhyiddin as the country’s eighth Prime Minister. To another question about Muhyiddin’s statement that he had assumed the role of Bersatu acting chairman, Dr Mahathir said there was no such thing.“He is not acting. I am still the chairman. What’s this about him being acting chairman? I did resign earlier but I later re-accepted the post.
Also present were former deputy finance minister Datuk Amiruddin Hamzah, State Assembly Speaker Datuk Ahmad Kassim, Kedah PKR chairman Datuk Johari Abdul and Kedah DAP chairman Tan Kok Yew.
