A leadership election will be held by the Malaysian United Indigenous Party (BERSATU) in October 2024.[1] This is the second BERSATU leadership election after the 2020 leadership election.
Incumbent President of BERSATU Muhyiddin Yassin confirmed on 25 November 2023 that he would defend his presidency after announcing he would not do so a day earlier.[2] On 6 July 2024, it was confirmed that incumbent Deputy President Ahmad Faizal Azumu and Secretary-General Hamzah Zainudin would compete for the deputy presidency. For the three vice presidencies, incumbent Ronald Kiandee and Radzi Jidin would defend their positions while 10 others including incumbent Information Chief Razali Idris, Spokesperson Wan Saiful Wan Jan, State Chairman of Pahang Saifuddin Abdullah and Election Bureau Chairman Mohd Rafiq Mohd Abdullah have expressed their interest in contesting for the position.[3]
However, on 13 July 2024, Muhyiddin proposed a new leadership lineup that has been endorsed and agreed by all members of the Supreme Council and the annual general meeting (AGM) accepting Hamzah Zainudin's promotion to deputy president and Ahmad Faizal Azumu's demotion to vice president. While the other two incumbent vice presidents, Ronald Kiandee and Mohd Radzi Md Jidin, retained their positions. Azmin Ali was appointed as secretary general of the party.[4] [5] [6]
