Mujahid steps aside as Amanah’s Penang chief

Mujahid Yusuf Rawa relinquished his position, with Roslan Ahmad taking over as Amanah’s Penang leader.

GEORGE TOWN: Amanah Penang chairman Mujahid Yusof Rawa, a federal minister, has relinquished his position in order to concentrate on his government duties.

Nibong Tebal division leader Dr Roslan Ahmad has been appointed the new state chairman.

Mujahid, who is also Amanah vice-president and a Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, said the appointment was made at the party’s state Convention, which party president Mohamad Sabu officiated here earlier today.

He also revealed that he had declined reappointment for the state party chairman post as he wanted to focus on his federal duties.

He hoped the new state party leadership will continue its good ties with the Penang government, now that Amanah was also a component party in the state. - FMT
