KOTA BHARU, Nov 11 — Datuk Kamarudin Md Nor, the Ayer Lanas assemblyman and sole Bersatu representative in the Kelantan state executive council, will not have his appointment renewed, the Deputy Menteri Besar said today.
The decision was made with the consent of the Sultan, according to the statement, marking a significant change in the composition of the state executive body.
No official reason was provided for the non-renewal of the appointment. Kamarudin's position on the executive council had made him the sole representative of Bersatu in the leadership structure of the Kelantan state government.
The development comes amid ongoing political dynamics within Kelantan's ruling coalition. The state has been governed by Pakatan Harapan since 2018, though the composition of its executive council has undergone various adjustments.
Further details regarding the restructuring of the executive council and potential replacements for the vacant position are expected to be announced in due course.
