About 130 Umno division chiefs want Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to remain as party president amid the many calls for his resignation.
The division chiefs gathered at a cafe in the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur at about 3pm to express their support for Ahmad Zahid.
Wangsa Maju division chief Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Shafei Abdullah, the spokesman for the ‘solidarity for president” gathering, urged other division chiefs to close ranks.
“We want a united Umno as we only won only 30 seats. We will be facing a disastrous future if we do not unite,” he said.
He also expressed regret that MCA, MIC and PBRS had signed a no-confidence letter against Ahmad Zahid as Barisan chairman.
