Bersatu Divisions to Resume Meetings in December After Temporary Suspension.


LARUT: All 10 divisions of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) which were suspended earlier were allowed to hold their annual meetings and elect the party’s leadership in December. Bersatu secretary-general Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin announced that the branches of the divisions concerned can also hold their meetings starting from November 7.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the election at the divisional level is scheduled for December but had been postponed to prevent any potential problems during the entire election process. Hamzah Zainuddin made these remarks during a press conference following the officiation of the Larut Bersatu Division meeting at Sungai Bayor Multipurpose Hall.

Earlier, Bersatu’s Party Election Committee (JPP) chairman, Abdul Azim Mohd Zabidi, confirmed the suspension of 10 division committees, preventing them from participating in the party’s election held today. This suspension affected the members’ ability to vote for three vice presidents and 20 Supreme Leadership Council
(MPT) members.

The suspension notice affected the divisions of Jasin, Tapah, Teluk Intan, Machang, Bukit Mertajam, Bukit Bendera, Tanjong, Cameron Highlands, Hulu Langat, and Kota Melaka, as communicated through a letter dated October 31.
