Hamzah appointed as the new president of Party Wawasan Negara

PARTI Wawasan Negara (Wawasan) today said they have appointed former Bersatu deputy president Hamzah Zainudin as its president.

It said this was part of a newly announced central leadership structure that brings together veteran politicians, former ministers, MPs and professionals.

The party also announced the appointment of veteran politician and former minister Rais Yatim as chairman.

Former Johor Bersatu associate wing chief Tan Lek Khang was chosen as deputy chairman during the party’s extraordinary general meeting yesterday.

Last week, Hamzah clarified that Wawasan is not a newly established political party but an existing party that was taken over and renamed.

The Larut MP and Reset movement leader said the party’s registration was not discussed during the opposition Members of Parliament pre-council meeting at PAS headquarters today.

“I took over a party. We just changed the name,” he told reporters after the meeting. 

Meanwhile, Former Melaka chief minister Rahim Thamby Chik, Tasek Gelugor MP Wan Saiful Wan Jan, and former Parti Cinta Malaysia president Huan Cheng Guan are among the Wawasan’s vice-presidents.

Indera Mahkota MP Saifuddin Abdullah and Machang MP Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal were appointed secretary-general and information chief respectively.

Wawasan also announced the appointment of 25 committee members, including Gerik MP Fathul Huzair Ayob, Padang Rengas MP Azahari Hasan, former UiTM vice-chancellor Ibrahim Shah Abu Shah and former Nibong Tebal MP Tan Tee Beng. —June 21, 2026
