Bersatu Arau division leadership quits party over Perlis council chairman appointment

The Bersatu Arau division leadership, including its deputy chief and wing chiefs, announced their resignations and immediate departure from the party on Thursday night. The move follows the central leadership's appointment of Padang Besar division chief Izizam Ibrahim as Perlis Bersatu Leadership Council chairman without consulting state and grassroots members. It comes after similar exits by the Kangar and Padang Besar divisions earlier this week.
