Terengganu exco man Razali hints at Bersatu exit

Terengganu executive councillor Razali Idris has announced his intention to depart from the Bersatu party following a decade of service, marking his last day as a Bersatu leader after 10 years. In a Facebook post, the Kijal assemblyman expressed his plans to start anew with an alternative platform, though he did not elaborate on the reasons behind his decision to resign from his position as Terengganu Bersatu chairman in August.

Additionally, Razali indicated that he would also relinquish his role as Marang Bersatu chief in mid-September, a move that led to the resignations of two other assemblymen from their respective Bersatu positions. The former Bersatu information chief's departure comes amidst a series of resignations within Bersatu, which has since imposed sanctions on several leaders in response to the ousting of former deputy president Hamzah Zainudin in February.

Following Hamzah's subsequent establishment of Wawasan, which subsequently joined the Perikatan Nasional coalition alongside Pejuang in June, PAS, the leading party in PN and the Terengganu government, severed its political ties with Bersatu in June. This decision by PAS triggered a temporary suspension of PN by the Registrar of Societies.
