KUALA LUMPUR: Umno grassroots are behind the party remaining in the unity government until the next general election, says party president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. Ahmad Zahid said he brought the matter to the political bureau and the supreme council as well as the party’s general assembly three years ago. Ahmad Zahid revealed that Umno is eyeing more than 30 seats in the next general election. Pressed on whether Umno will go solo or join another coalition after the general election, Ahmad Zahid said it will depend on the outcome of the general election. Asked for his predictions on when the general election will be held, the Umno president said, “within 22 months from now”.
