GE15: Umno grassroots leaders caused a stir, want Zahid to step down

The group caught media personnel by surprise when they began chanting loudly at the lobby of Menara Dato Onn at the World Trade Centre KL at about 4pm Sunday, calling for Ahmad Zahid to resign.Speaking to reporters later, KLCC Umno branch chief Datuk Seri Dzulkarnain Mokhtar said that Ahmad Zahid has to take full responsibility for Umno's loss in the 15th General Election .

"He should take the respectful decision to bow out and not wait until a vote of no confidence is moved against him," he told reporters here. Dzulkarnain said that he and the others with him did not mind being expelled by the party for their calls to oust Ahmad Zahid."We may be expelled by the party but it does not matter as we are merely voicing what the grassroots feel,” he added.This comes after Umno suffered its biggest loss in history by winning only 27 seats in GE15.

Jalan Hang Jebat Umno branch chief Mohd Zailan Mokhtar voiced disappointment at hearing talk that Ahmad Zahid may be seeking an alliance with Pakatan Harapan in a bid to form the government."The party has decided against a coalition with Pakatan and we had said, no Anwar and no DAP.In March last year, the Umno general assembly decided against working with Pakatan by adopting the “No DAP, No Anwar, No Bersatu” policy in the GE15.

Mohd Zailan said that Ahmad Zahid's insistence on having early polls was against the King's wish to see Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob completing the full parliamentary term.Article type: free
