KEDAH Pakatan Harapan chairman Mahfuz Omar and former Amanah secretary-general Dr Mohd Hatta Ramli have been appointed Amanah vice-presidents for the 2023-2026 term.

Newly minted Amanah secretary-general Muhammad Faiz Fadzil said the duo received unanimous support at the party’s National Leadership Committee meeting today, which was chaired by president Mohamad Sabu.

Faiz said at today’s meeting, Norhayati Bidin and Khalid Abd Samad retained their positions as deputy secretary-general and communications director, respectively, Hulu Langat MP Mohd Sany Hamzan was appointed election director, and Pulai MP Suhaizan Kaiat was made human resource development director.

“State Amanah chairmen will be appointed during the national meeting after sufficient written notice is given to each branch across the country to nominate a candidate for consideration,” he said.

Faiz said Amanah’s strategic framework was approved during today’s meeting.

At the December 24 party polls, Mohamad, who is also agriculture and food securities minister, retained his position as president for the third term.
