FORMER Parti Bersatu Malaysia deputy president Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu @ Peja, was voted as one of the party’s three vice-presidents for the 2024-2027 term.
The two other new vice-presidents are Putrajaya MP and former education minister Datuk Mohd Radzi Jidin and Datuk Seri Ronald Kiandee.
The results were widely expected amid speculation that the outcome was “predetermined” to avert internal division.
Datuk Seri Azmin Ali, once touted as the contender for the number two post, sat out from all top posts competitions.
Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin will stay as Bersatu president for the new term together with Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin who remains as deputy president after both posts were not contested.
A total of 80 candidates contested for the 20 seats in the Bersatu Supreme Council committee. - November 4, 2024
