KUALA LUMPUR: Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi today confirmed that he has not received any notification from Supreme Council member Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz regarding his purported move.
Ahmad Zahid, who is also the deputy prime minister, said so far, Tengku Zafrul has not approached him to discuss the matter.
"So, we can't confirm this," he told reporters after attending Kolej Ketengah's 4th convocation ceremony at the World Trade Centre here.
He was responding to media reports claiming that Tengku Zafrul, who is the Investment, Trade and Industry Minister, is set to quit Umno and join PKR to play a key role in the Selangor government in the future.
Ahmad Zahid said parties within the unity government should refrain from poaching members from other parties within the alliance to maintain harmony.
Therefore, he advised all parties within the unity government to prioritise preserving unity and the alliance's interests over personal agendas. — BERNAMA
