Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi responds to Mersing MP Abd Latiff Ahmad, of PPBM, who said Umno is no longer popular in Sabah.
Latiff, who is rural and regional development minister, made the remarks at a forum but later apologised, saying his remarks had been misunderstood. In replying to a tweet from Mersing Umno Youth leader Azmir Zainal Abidin who said they would support any move to return the Mersing seat to Umno, Zahid said: “Of course it belongs to Umno.”
On July 8, Barisan Nasional adviser Najib Razak had criticised Latiff for playing down the party’s popularity in Sabah. Najib had also said Umno would take Mersing back.
