Bersatu may expedite the party’s grassroots-level election in divisions severely affected by a recent power struggle between party president Muhyiddin Yassin and former deputy Hamzah Zainudin.

According to several Bersatu leaders, the party had set up "new divisions" to completely replace those that saw a mass exodus of their office bearers and supporters, sparked by Hamzah’s expulsion on Feb 14.
