Bersatu denies rumours of Datuk Seri Azmin Ali and Datuk Rashid Hasnon leaving the party

The President of Bersatu has rubbished rumours alleging Senior Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Azmin Ali and Deputy Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Mohd Rashid Hasnon are planning to leave the party.

This, following Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin’s decision to quit Bersatu last month.

Meanwhile, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin says he has already been in contact with the Prime Minister over Datuk Zuraida’s role in Cabinet as the Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister.

He says the party’s stance is that her position in Cabinet is because she was a Bersatu member and that the quota for the party remains.

However, Tan Sri Muhyiddin says a final decision is up to the Prime Minister.
