KUALA LUMPUR: Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says there is no doubt that he has the support from Umno’s grassroots for the party to remain in the unity government.
"I have no doubt about it. This is not about my stand, this is the party's stand," he told reporters at the World Trade Centre (WTC) here on Tuesday (Jan 13).
He was asked whether he has the full support of the party to remain with the unity government and will not "pull the plug" until the next general election.
Ahmad Zahid said that he had brought the matter to the political bureau and the supreme council as well as the party's general assembly three years ago.
"I stand firm on it. The unity government should be strengthened by efforts not just by our party members but also our MPs," he added.
Umno has a total of 26 MPs in the Dewan Rakyat.
The Umno general assembly 2025 will be held from Jan 14 to 17 at the World Trade Centre (WTC) Kuala Lumpur, after being postponed twice in August and November last year to allow the party to prepare for the 17th Sabah State Election.
