00:00An analyst has played down a call for Muhyiddin Yassin to resign as Bersatu President and Perikatan National Chairman

00:07following the coalition's defeat in the 17th Sabah election, saying it lacks bite and does not reflect the realities on the ground.

00:16Asmi Hassan of Academy Nusantara said the demand was not strong enough to trigger a leadership change

00:22as it came from a state with its own unique political dynamics.

00:26Sabah Bersatu Secretary Yunus Nurdin had urged Muhyiddin to step down after the party's failure to win any of the 33 seats it contested.

00:37PN won just one seat in the state, Karambunay, through past candidate Ali Akbar Gulasan.

00:43Muhyiddin has already been battling discontent within Bersatu as well as calls for him to step down ahead of the 16th general election

00:51to make way for his deputy, opposition leader Hamzah Zainuddin.

00:55Ahmad Zaharuddin Sani Ahmad Zabri of Global Asia Consulting said Yunus' call should not be taken lightly.

01:04He said the major setback in Sabah was not just a tactical issue,

01:08but could also reflect deeper, more complex internal power dynamics in the party.
