PETALING JAYA: Khairy Jamaluddin today said Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s position has become “untenable” and the party elections due by June should be held immediately.

He said many in the party have become increasingly uncomfortable over the purported phone conversation between Zahid and PKR president Anwar Ibrahim. The recording has been spread widely over social media.

“I think many people in the party are very uncomfortable over the phone conversation, purportedly between Zahid and Anwar. I think Zahid’s position is increasingly untenable as president of the party.

“Hence, the party’s Supreme Council must meet immediately and allow for the party elections to take place immediately.
