KUALA LUMPUR: Umno should learn from the election victories of US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which, among others, was due to the effective use of social media, said Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamid.

The Deputy Prime Minister said that while Modi from the BJP party was up against the Congress party, which appeared stronger, he managed to win due to an effective communications strategy which used social media and other online platforms effectively.
