Bersatu has sacked deputy president Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin from the party. 

This was confirmed by its secretary general Datuk Seri Azmin Ali, who said it was for breaches of the party's constitution.  

Meanwhile, Bersatu disciplinary board chairman said the sacking is effective immediately, but Hamzah has the right to lodge an appeal within two weeks.  

For now, Hamzah's role as the opposition leader has yet to be confirmed.
