ROMPIN: The appointment of Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi as Deputy Prime Minister was made in consideration of his position in the party hierarchy, says Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan.
He added that the appointment was aimed at stabilising the unity government, formed after no party won a simple majority of 112 seats in the Dewan Rakyat, and not based on political interests.
