KUALA LUMPUR: Sabah Umno chief Bung Moktar Radin has come to the defence of party president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi in the wake of Barisan Nasional’s disastrous outing in the 15th general election (GE15).

Bung said Umno leaders needed to take collective responsibility and the blame should not rest squarely on Zahid.

“But it should not come to that level (of Zahid stepping down from the post),” he said, referring to calls for Zahid to resign.

“All Umno leaders must take responsibility. If there is a need to step down, then everyone has to do it,” he said when met after attending the Umno political bureau meeting here.
