Wrapping up Umno assembly, Zahid says more Najibs will rise from party ranks

KUALA LUMPUR, June 10 — Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi wrapped up the party’s annual general assembly this year vowing to continue the campaign to free Datuk Seri Najib Razak, the disgraced former prime minister now serving a 12-year jail sentence for embezzling funds from SRC International Sdn Bhd, a 1MDB subsidiary.

Zahid suggested to delegates in a brief speech that Umno will never forget Najib’s contribution and that its supreme council has decided to make Najib’s freedom a key agenda, although it remains unclear how they plan to achieve this. Zahid’s assertion followed calls by Najib’s children not to abandon the push to release the former Umno president, a topic that was repeatedly touched on by both debaters and leaders at this year’s congress.

“I appreciate what Yana, Nizar and said. Trust me, there will be more Najib Razaks emerging from within Umno and they will continue the struggle fought by Najib Razak,” he said.An Umno party member holds a ‘Solidarity for Najib Razak’ poster during the party’s 2023 general assembly at the World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur June 9, 2023. — Picture by Hari Anggara
