Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassinn said that the resignations of more than a dozen Sabah Umno elected representatives was a positive development for Pakatan Harapan.
He also confirmed there have been requests for the party to move into Sabah in the wake of the resignations but they would discuss it with Parti Warisan Sabah and Pakatan Harapan.
Earlier more than a dozen Sabah Umno MPs and state assemblypersons quit to become independents and pledged their support for Pakatan Harapan and Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
