Pemimpin akar umbi Bersatu Kangar keluar parti, sertai Wawasan

Several roots of the Bersatu Kangar party are reported to have left the party due to a lack of trust in its leadership. The Bersatu Kangar faction, along with the youth and women wing leaders and 90 branch presidents, have left the party to join Wawasan. This development occurred the day after the replacement of Bersatu Padang Besar chairman Ramzi Udi, and 19 other party leaders and members announced their departure from the party due to dissatisfaction with his leadership.

In a statement today, Bersatu Kangar Deputy Chairman Faisol Rahman said the group chose to leave Bersatu with dignity and honor after losing trust in the party's leadership. He said that for the sake of their goals, management of the organization, and the approach of the Bersatu leadership, no longer align with their hopes and aspirations as branch and branch leaders.

Faisol said they would join Wawasan because they believe its goals and leadership are closer to their aspirations and needs. We believe that the strength of any political party begins with trust between leadership and the grassroots. When that trust has been shaken, we felt it was time to take a clear stand. The departure from Bersatu was due to a lack of trust.

Joining the Wawasan Party is because we believe in a new goal, according to the statement. Faisol said the departure involved 90 out of 99 branch presidents in the Kangar area. He also said the move did not involve any Bersatu MPs or Perlis state assemblymen. The Hujong Tanjung branch, led by Perlis Chief Minister Abu Bakar Hamzah, remained with Bersatu.

This development followed the appointment of Bersatu Padang Besar chairman Izizam Ibrahim as the new chairman of Bersatu Perlis. Besut Secretary-General Azmin Ali said the appointment, approved by President Muhyiddin Yassin, took effect on September 3. Bersatu Perlis was previously led by Abu Bakar, who also represented Kuala Perlis in the Dewan Rakyat. Abu Bakar resigned from the Bersatu leadership post on July 9.
