PETALING JAYA: Khairy Jamaluddin says Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi offered him the deputy president's post in 2018.
However, Khairy said he turned down the offer, made before the 2018 Umno elections, as the former Youth chief believed that the party leadership should change. At a Concorde Club meeting on Monday , Khairy also said his concerns about the present party leadership were not new."We should have a clean slate, to something fresh in order to offer hope not just to party members, but also voters," added the former health minister."We didn't really think that we were on the precipice of this great defeat .
The Concorde Club is an informal group of editors and senior journalists meeting with politicians and key policymakers. Previous guests of the Concorde Club, led by Star Media Group advisor Datuk Seri Wong Chun Wai, include Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow, Opposition leader Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin, former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak, Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan, Transport Minister Anthony Loke and senior adviser to the PM Nurul Izzah Anwar.
