Why is Hamzah Zainudin being discussed for Parti Keluarga Malaysia leadership?

Question

Accepted Answer

Hamzah Zainudin is being discussed for Parti Keluarga Malaysia leadership because he has been expelled from Bersatu and party founder Khairi Jaya is preparing for him to take over.

Hamzah confirmed that talks are under way for him to assume the top post, and Khairi said preparations are nearly complete. The move follows Hamzah’s expulsion from Bersatu last month, which came during a leadership struggle with party president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
Talks have already been held with Hamzah and other former Bersatu MPs

Khairi said he has met Hamzah and several former Bersatu MPs, including Datuk Wan Saiful Wan Jan, on multiple occasions. Hamzah also said they are discussing how to take over and are working through technical matters.
The party is preparing for a formal leadership change

Khairi said an internal election would follow once Hamzah and his allies officially join the party. He also said amendments to the party constitution are already in progress to make room for the change.
Hamzah’s exit from Bersatu is part of a wider split

Hamzah was removed from Bersatu amid a leadership struggle with Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. Since October, five other MPs aligned with Hamzah — Wan Saiful, Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal, Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah, Fathul Huzir Ayob and Azahari Hasan — have also been expelled.
His parliamentary role remains separate from the party move

Despite the sackings, 13 Bersatu MPs have reaffirmed their support for Hamzah to continue as Opposition Leader in Parliament. That means his current parliamentary position is still being backed by a bloc of MPs even as talks continue over a different party leadership role.
