PETALING JAYA: The High Court’s decision to grant a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) against Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has vindicated the Deputy Prime Minister of the “politically-motivated” charges he faced, says Umno.

Party secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said from the beginning of the ordeal, Umno believed that Ahmad Zahid had been a victim of political prosecution.
