KOTA BHARU — Kelantan Bersatu chairman Datuk Kamarudin Md Nor has confirmed his removal from the state executive council following receipt of an official letter, a day after reports of his impending departure circulated in political circles.
The confirmation marks the end of speculation that had mounted among political observers regarding the senior Bersatu representative's status within the state administration. No official statement has been issued regarding the reasons for his removal or the circumstances surrounding the decision.
Kamarudin's exit from the executive council represents a significant shift in Kelantan's political landscape, where Bersatu has maintained representation in the state government. The development underscores the fluid nature of political alignments in the state as various coalition arrangements continue to evolve.
The move comes amid broader political developments in Malaysia's northeast, where competing interests among ruling coalition partners have occasionally prompted changes in state-level appointments and ministerial positions.
