JOHOR BARU: Johor Perikatan Nasional chairman Datuk Dr Sahruddin Jamal has stepped down from his position, shortly after Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced his own resignation.
Dr Sahruddin, who is the Bukit Kepong assemblyman, made the announcement in a Facebook post on Tuesday (Dec 30).
“With this, I resign as Johor Perikatan chairman. I, too, lost my position as MB (mentri besar), so I gladly step down as Perikatan chairman,” said the Johor Bersatu chief.
Dr Sahruddin is a former Johor mentri besar, replaced by Datuk Hasni Mohammad after Bersatu’s withdrawal from Pakatan Harapan in Johor in 2020.
Earlier on Tuesday (Dec 30), Muhyiddin confirmed he will step down as Perikatan Nasional chief effective Jan 1, 2026. He will remain as Bersatu president.
