Hamzah Zainuddin Reinstated as Opposition Leader Through Coalition Consensus

Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin has been reappointed as Malaysia's Opposition Leader following a consensus among the leadership of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition. PAS President Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang confirmed that the Larut Member of Parliament's reinstatement was backed by PN's elected representatives through sworn affidavits. "From the beginning, we had appointed him (Hamzah) as Opposition Leader. So, we are repeating this. We can repeat this matter after it has happened," Awang stated after officiating the Reset Malaysia Convention. Previously, on May 17, PN Chairman Datuk Seri Dr. Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar had assumed the role of Opposition Leader. That decision was made during the second PN Supreme Council Meeting, filling the vacancy left by Hamzah's resignation. Awang also indicated that PAS, Gerakan, and all elected representatives under the Reset movement are united in their continued support for Ahmad Shamsuri as PN Chairman. "We will make a change that mobilizes the machinery of all PN component parties towards a change to save the country," he added.
