PETALING JAYA: The party membership for six Bersatu MPs has been terminated immediately, says Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin.

The party secretary-general said in a statement that their termination was made under Article 10.4 of Bersatu's constitution.

"In line with the decision made by the Bersatu supreme council on June 7 and after being announced to the Perikatan Nasional supreme council meeting last night on June 11, the termination notices have been handed over to the six MPs," said Hamzah.

For Labuan MP Datuk Dr Suhaili Abdul Rahman, Hamzah said his termination was made under Article 10.2.6 of the Bersatu constitution.
