PETALING JAYA: Amanah communications director Khalid Samad has confirmed that Husam Musa has resigned from his position as party vice president.
This comes after Husam denied a report claiming he resigned from his post, as well as that of Kelantan President Pakatan Harapan, in protest against the party’s chairman, Mohamad Sabu.
In a statement, Khalid said Husam’s request to resign from the post was made to allow him to focus on efforts to win more seats for Amanah in Kelantan.
He also quashed reports that Husam’s resignation was due to discontent with Mohamad, also known as Mat Sabu, or other party leaders, saying this was unfounded.
Rather, he said, the decision was made to strengthen Amanah’s position in Kelantan, particularly in Kota Bharu.
“Since your skills and abilities are still needed on the national stage, Amanah has decided to ask you to oversee and act as an advisor to the three Amanah offices in preparation for facing the 15th general election.
“These three offices are the election, communications and strategy offices. Proposal documents on his new role are being prepared for his deal, ”Khalid said.
In a text message sent to the FMT today, Husam denied The Malaysian Insight’s report that he resigned in protest against Mohamad, saying “it is not correct.”
The report citing sources claimed that Husam submitted his resignation letter two weeks ago.
According to the source, Husam was not satisfied with Mohamad’s leadership, particularly in failing to provide clear direction to support former Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad or PKR President Anwar Ibrahim.
Husam joined Amanah following his dismissal from PAS in 2016. He is a Vice President-designate.
