Critics: Zahid should quit

Pressed to go: Some people are now openly calling on Ahmad Zahid to step down because of Umno’s poor performance in the state elections.

KUALA LUMPUR: There are growing calls within Umno for Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to resign as party president and take responsibility for its disastrous showing in Saturday’s state elections.

Leading the pack is former Terengganu mentri besar Tan Sri Idris Jusoh, who said Umno was wiped out in all seats across the state.
