PETALING JAYA: Barisan Nasional leaders say there is nothing surprising about Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s return to active duty following six months of garden leave which he said had been to keep the party united.
“He wanted to sort out a few things which are personal to him,” he added. “It’s good in a sense because Umno is moving well within BN as well as with PAS.” Vigneswaran said Mohamad had always maintained that he was only doing the work of the president, not holding the post.Adding that it had been Zahid’s decision to go on garden leave, he said there was not necessarily a “good time” to go or return.
“In my personal opinion, he has very strong grassroots support,” he added. “He also has the support of former prime minister Najib Razak.”
