KUALA LUMPUR – Pejuang has accepted Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s decision to step down as chairman of the party. 

Pejuang president Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir said the party’s central executive council and members nationwide held Dr Mahathir’s services, thoughts, guidance, and leadership throughout his tenure as party chairman in high esteem. 

“We express our endless appreciation to Ayahanda Tun (Dr Mahathir). Only Allah SWT can repay his services to us,” he said in a statement here today.
