Kota Kinabalu: Lahad Datu Member of Parliament Datuk Mohamaddin Ketapi, who is also Segama Assemblyman, on Tuesday announced his departure from Bersatu, which he joined after leaving Parti Warisan (Warisan) last year.
The 65-year-old veteran politician said he is now an independent in support of the state and federal governments.
He said he left Bersatu because he was not given the role and trust to strengthen the party, especially at the Lahad Datu parliamentary and Segama state constituencies.
