Sacked Perak Umno leader Datuk Hamidah Osman said she was unsure for the basis of her removal from the party and would consult her supporters first before deciding her next course of action.
The Gopeng division Wanita chief, who was fired from the party last night, for openly criticising the leadership, said she would hold a press conference on Friday to announce her future plans.
"I only heard about it last night when reporters called me.
"I have not received any official notice yet and am unaware of the grounds of the decision," she told The Malaysian Insider today.
Hamidah's sacking was announced by Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Razak yesterday after an Umno Supreme Council meeting held within Parliament grounds.
Hamidah said her last correspondence with the party leadership was in May, in which she gave her response to a show-cause letter for organising an event in Ipoh where former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was the speaker.
"I find it odd if I was axed for that because Tun (Mahathir) is also an Umno member.
"How come I was sacked but not the speaker," she said.
