Question

Accepted Answer

Bersatu Members Who Contested as Independents Had Membership Terminated

The three Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) members who contested in the 12th Sarawak state election as Independents have had their party memberships automatically terminated. This action was taken after they failed to withdraw their candidacies despite being given opportunities to do so.
Members Given Chance to Withdraw

Bersatu Sarawak chairman Senator Jaziri Alkaf Abdillah Suffian confirmed that the party had provided the three individuals with time and the chance to retract their nominations. These members were Siki Balarik, who stood in Belaga; Ricky Enteri, who contested in Bawang Assan; and Ismawi Muhammad, who ran in Muara Tuang.
Automatic Termination Following Non-Compliance

Following their refusal to withdraw, their party memberships were automatically terminated in accordance with Bersatu's constitution. Senator Jaziri stated that this decision was made because they did not heed the party's directive to step aside from the election.
Party's Stance on Sarawak Election

Bersatu maintained a firm position of not contesting in the Sarawak state election. The party's leadership had previously indicated that stern action, including immediate membership termination, would be taken against any members who defied this directive and stood as candidates without official party permission.
