Saarani: Zahid led the party to bounce back winning seven by-elections and two state polls in Melaka and Johor. theSun theSundaily election politics Umno Malaysia
: It is unfair to put all the blame on Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi for the Barisan Nasional’s defeat in the 15th general election last November, said Umno Supreme Council member Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad.
“Yes, we were defeated in GE15, but when we won the seven by-elections and two state elections, he was the Umno president. So it is not right to say that we lost in GE15 all because of the party president. The Perak Menteri Besar said that despite the party’s defeat, Umno is now part of the administration in the Unity Government and Ahmad Zahid has been appointed as deputy prime minister.
On the party election, he said so far the motion submitted by the delegates was for the two top positions, namely president and deputy president, not be contested and if this is approved today, the polls will see the contest for the other positions including the vice president posts.
