On 28 July 2023,Deputy Prime Minister,BN Chairman and UMNO President Ahmad Zahid Hamidi announced the automatic termination of Hassan as an UMNO Member after the latter was announced as a candidate representing PN and BERSATU,of which UMNO was a political enemy. Ahmad Zahid also said that UMNO needed members who were loyal to the party and not those who were not as well as responding unsurprisingly due to his earlier knowledge of his defection. [5] In response,Harrison said his decision of switching party was based on the demands of the people who wanted political changes although he was labelled as a 'traitor'. He further stated that he struggled sincerely without any forces or pressures and did not forcefully follow any idols. He further defended his move by claiming that BN and UMNO were still in old politics while he was not. [6]
He idolised the Member of Parliament (MP) for Sembrong Hishammuddin Hussein whom he previously worked with in the Ministry of Defence. He shared that Hishammuddin was shocked and positive of learning the news of him contesting elections and hugged him. [7]
During his late campaigning period,Harrison was forced to use a crutch after suffering swelling in his ankle. His injury however did not stop him from going down to the ground to meet the voters. He attributed it to possibly walking too much during the period. He described it as a test for him as he was determined to visit all 13 polling stations in Jeram and to meet as many voters as possible. [8]
