KUALA LUMPUR – Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has addressed the alleged conspiracy within Umno to dethrone him as president, telling members to respect the party constitution that ensured his election into the top post.
This follows a claim by sacked Umno Supreme Council member Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman that there were internal attempts led by some of the party senior leaders to oust Zahid.
The president claimed to have no knowledge of any such meetings discussing his fate, but said any attempts to remove him must go through the proper channel, and not through a back door.
“We must respect the party constitution,” he told reporters at the court complex here today.
