[KiniNews] Statements purportedly from Bersatu deputy president Hamzah Zainudin saying he is quitting as opposition leader are fake, according to his team.

This came after two news outlets published articles about his purported resignation late last night.

Yesterday, there were two separate statements allegedly from Hamzah, one resigning from unspecified posts in Perikatan Nasional, and the other quitting as opposition leader.

Meanwhile, in a separate story, Perlis legislature speaker Rus’sele Eizan has retracted a notice to the Election Commission stating a need for by-elections in three seats in the state.

However, the seats, which were previously held by the three who had sided with Bersatu in a power struggle, will remain vacant.
