158 Bersatu Divisions May Support Hamzah's New Party
Kuala Lumpur – A significant number of Bersatu members, reportedly from 158 divisions nationwide, are considering backing Tuan Sabahan Hamzah Zainuddin’s newly formed political party, according to a claim made by a former Bersatu leader. While not representing all divisions, this potential support base signals a potentially impactful challenge to established political forces.
The former Bersatu leader, who remains unnamed in available reports, stated that the divisions are evaluating Hamzah’s party as a viable alternative. The move comes as Hamzah is actively establishing his new political vehicle, aiming to attract members disillusioned with the current landscape of Malaysian politics.
Hamzah Zainuddin, a veteran politician and former Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, recently announced his intention to form a new party. He has been a prominent figure in Malaysian politics for decades, previously holding key positions within both Umno and Bersatu. His departure from Bersatu and subsequent party formation mark a notable shift in the country's political dynamics.
The scale of support from these 158 divisions, while substantial, is not definitive. Further developments and official announcements from Hamzah's party are expected in the coming weeks, clarifying the extent of backing and the party's political agenda. The potential impact on Bersatu and the broader political landscape remains to be seen, but the prospect of a new political player with significant grassroots support is generating considerable interest.
