PETALING JAYA: Analysts have dismissed claims that top Umno leaders are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with party president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi following the Federal Court’s dismissal of Najib Razak’s corruption case review.
Azmi Hassan of Akademi Nusantara said about 80% of Umno’s current leadership lineup comprised “Zahid’s men”.
“Zahid is in control. And a majority of his rivals such as Khairy Jamaluddin, Annuar Musa and Shahril Hamdan have been removed. This means the internal bickering has been reduced,” he told FMT.
Khairy and Annuar were sacked from the party in February, while Shahril was suspended for six years.
