Umno purge: What happened at the supreme council meeting before the axe fell


PETALING JAYA: Despite Umno leaders warning Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to be wary that he was not following due process, the party president still went ahead and “axed" several leaders at the party's supreme council meeting on Friday (Jan 27) night, said a source.

The source said that five supreme council members objected to Ahmad Zahid's decision and only three agreed with him.
