Ex-Permas rep quits Bersatu, joins Amanah

 

Bersatu’s former Permas assemblyperson Che Zakaria Mohd Salleh announced that he is leaving the party and joining Amanah effective today.

Speaking to reporters, he said the decision was taken without coercion from anyone and was made carefully after five months of deep thought on which party he wanted to join.

“I chose Amanah because it is a party free from bureaucracy and leadership problems,” he told reporters after the Johor Amanah Convention 2022 today.

Meanwhile, Amanah president Salahuddin Ayub, who received Che Zakaria’s registration form, said the party welcomed the decision.

“We are pleased to have him join us, and Johor Amanah will find him a role to play,” he said.

Che Zakaria won the Permas seat in the 14th general election, turning giant killer after defeating former Johor menteri besar Mohamed Khaled Nordin in a four-cornered contest.
