New Amanah deputy president announced next month

PASIR MAS, Nov 3 — The Amanah National Committee for the 2023-2026 term will decide the late Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub’s replacement as deputy president in December.

Amanah vice-president Datuk Mahfuz Omar said the party had just started its meetings and has yet to receive the candidates’ list.

“We cannot make any speculation on Salahuddin’s replacement.

“Amanah’s system differs from those like Umno and PAS. We do not contest for specific posts as they are decided by 27 people (National Leadership Committee members), elected at the national level,” he said to the press after opening the Pasir Mas Amanah annual meeting in Tendong today.

Mahfuz said the 27 elected committee members will then meet to choose the president, deputy president, and secretary.

Salahuddin, who was Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister, died on July 23 this year after suffering a brain haemorrhage.
