Bersatu Perlis hit by mass resignations, 114 branch chiefs quit
ARAU: The resignation of 114 Bersatu branch chiefs in Perlis signals a deepening crisis within the party that could have wider implications, an academic said.
The Bersatu Perlis party has experienced a significant internal crisis with the resignation of 114 branch chiefs, raising concerns about its future prospects. Academic Muhammad Izmer Yusof explained that this development is not surprising, as Bersatu has always relied on its coalition partners, particularly during election times.
The current crisis between Bersatu and Pas is already weakening the party, making it vulnerable in future elections due to the lack of support from a strong political partner. Experts suggest that potential cooperation between Pas and Umno could help mitigate the crisis, particularly in the four states under the SG4 grouping where Umno's electoral strength is limited.
