PPBM-friendly Umno bigwigs moving on Zahid?

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Some Umno bigwigs are believed to be wooing other supreme council members into supporting PPBM, a party that they once regarded as insignificant and which Umno grassroots are against.

According to a supreme council member who spoke to FMT, the bigwigs also plan to drum up enough support among the leaders to force party president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to “step aside”.

“It is not PPBM leaders who are talking to us. It is Umno leaders. Are they trying to split Umno?” said the insider, who asked to remain anonymous.

“Both sides are talking to us. Those who want us to agree to work with PPBM and those against,” he said, without elaborating further. He said he feared that more of his colleagues would support PPBM if they allowed themselves to be influenced by these leaders.
