SEREMBAN: Khairy Jamaluddin does not believe Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi will step down if the party performs badly in the state elections.
The sacked Umno leader said it would be business as usual for the party irrespective of the polls which are being held in Negri Sembilan and five other states in the country.
"Zahid Hamidi will not step down. Umno will continue to run as usual.
"The party will act clueless (if the outcome of the polls shows BN performed poorly).
"This is what happened when I predicted the outcome of the 15th general election.
Despite being criticised, Umno continues to remain ignorant," he told reporters after casting his ballots at Sekolah Menengah Agama Haji Mohd Yatim in Kota here.
