Bersatu sacks Saifuddin Abdullah over ‘breach of party constitution’

The former minister says he will appeal against his expulsion

KUALA LUMPUR – Bersatu has sacked its Supreme Council member Datuk Seri Saifuddin Abdullah from the party, effective today.

According to a letter from the party’s disciplinary board dated today, the decision was made during a Supreme Council meeting yesterday.

The letter reportedly stated that Saifuddin had breached Clause 9.1.4 of the party constitution but did not specify the alleged offence committed by the Indera Mahkota MP.

The former minister was previously hauled up by the party’s disciplinary board following his calls for Bersatu president and then Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Muhyiddin Yassin to resign.

In making the call, Saifuddin also urged the resignation of other senior party members, including Datuk Seri Azmin Ali.

In addition, Saifuddin also called on Muhyiddin to clarify whether his son-in-law, fugitive businessman Muhammad Adlan Berhan, had indeed fled the country, following the circulation of pictures of him living abroad in luxury.

The stance caused the Bersatu Youth wing to call for immediate disciplinary action against Saifuddin. He was also then removed as Perikatan Nasional’s Pahang chief.

Saifuddin confirmed his sacking when contacted by Scoop and said he is appealing the decision. – January 6, 2026
