AMANAH communications director Khalid Samad has confirmed news from sources that its vice-president Husam Musa has resigned.

He said that Husam wants to focus on work to win seats for Amanah in Kelantan, specifically the Kota Baru parliamentary seat.

“Any suggestion that he had quit his post over differences with the president or any other leaders in Amanah is baseless.

“He had quit to strengthen the party in Kelantan, specifically in Kota Baru,” he said in a statement today.

The statement comes after a The Malaysian Insight report today that Husam had stepped down from his position as the party’s vice-president and Kelantan Pakatan Harapan chairman in protest against party president Mohamad Sabu, said sources.

They added that Husam’s resignation letter was submitted to party leadership two weeks ago.

“He let go of his elected post in the party but not his Kota Baru Amanah chief post, which he won. The letter was sent two weeks ago but to date, there has been no feedback,” a source told The Malaysian Insight.

Husam, when contacted twice by The Malaysian Insight, refused to comment on his resignation. However, the former Kubang Kerian MP immediately denied the report.

Khalid said the party still needed Husam’s expertise at the national level, and he will be an advisor to its three political bureaus – the Elections, Communication and Strategy bureaus.

 “The proposal on his new role is being drafted and is to be accepted by him,” the former Federal Territories Minister said in the statement. – September 14, 2020.
