While Dr Mahathir had resigned from his position on Monday the party had rejected his resignation and convinced him to stay on, to which he agreed. However, Muhyiddin in a statement today ignored this fact and has now announced himself as the acting chairman.“According to Article 16.9 of Bersatu’s constitution, if the chairman quits or is sacked, then the president has to assume the role until an election is held to pick a new chairman.

His statement now contradicts that of the party’s secretary-general who had confirmed that Dr Mahathir has been reinstated as Bersatu chairman.
