Hamzah’s comeback sparks Bersatu reset

After being dismissed from his post, former Bersatu deputy chairman Hamzah Zainudin re‑emerged at the University of Malaya alumni clubhouse, presenting a 'reset' agenda aimed at reviving his political fortunes.
He gathered a handful of loyalists, outlined plans to rebuild the party from the grassroots, and issued an open challenge to former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin, signalling a fresh power struggle within Bersatu.

For voters and party members, Hamzah’s comeback could reshape the leadership battle in Bersatu, influencing future coalition dynamics and policy direction ahead of the next election and may affect local representation.

If his challenge gains traction, it may split the party, affect Muhyiddin’s standing, and alter the balance of power within the ruling coalition, with knock‑on effects on national politics in the coming months.
