Bersatu Kelantan faces grassroots woes, leadership deficit'
KOTA BARU: Bersatu's position in Kelantan has been described as 'telur di hujung tanduk' (on the brink of collapse), with the party facing weak machinery, a loss of members and declining morale among its grassroots supporters.
Kota Bharu reports that the People's Justice Party (Bersatu) in Kelantan is experiencing significant challenges at the grassroots level. Former division chief Datuk Mohamed Farid Mohamed Zawawi has stated that the party is facing a "telur di hujung tanduk" (on the brink of collapse) scenario, characterized by weak party machinery, a loss of members, declining morale among supporters, and a lack of political influence at the divisional level.
Farid, who is now the Kelantan Wawasan state liaison council chairman, emphasized that the party's current position should not be solely judged by the remaining division chiefs, but rather by the strength of its grassroots machinery and leadership. He further clarified a claim by state Bersatu chairman Datuk Kamarudin Md Nor, who had previously stated that Farid had left Bersatu to join a rival party, which Farid denied, asserting that he was instead expelled from the party on May 11, 2026.
Farid also disputed other claims regarding the voluntary departure of several other division chiefs, clarifying that some had been suspended or removed rather than leaving the party willingly. He challenged Kamarudin to provide evidence to support his allegations.
