Muhyiddin Yassin’s exit as Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman stemmed from no Pas pressure, said election director Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor.
The Kedah Menteri Besar rejected suggestions that Pas leaders pushed Muhyiddin to step down.
Denies Ex-Aide’s Pressure Claims
“Pressure from Pas? No,” he told reporters on the sidelines of the Kedah State Land and Mines Office New Year Address 2026 at Dewan Seri Mentaloon today.
Sanusi addressed claims by Muhyiddin’s former principal private secretary, Datuk Dr Marzuki Mohamad.
Leadership Call Awaits Official Meet
On PN’s next chairman, he pointed to an upcoming coalition meeting.
“Wait for the PN meeting to learn who takes the role. Even if offered to me, I would say no. Let others lead,” Sanusi said.
He cautioned against outside talk.
Decisions Stay Within Coalition
Leadership picks demand group deliberation, not solo comments, to prevent mix-ups.
“We meet first. No individual statements. Decide together, then announce,” he stressed.
