AHMAD Zahid Hamidi is confident Umno will return to Putrajaya soon and without the hassle of having to go through a general election.
The acting Umno president said the Pakatan Harapan government was unstable and will collapse in the near future.
“We know that they (PH) are shaky everywhere. We have the most number of MPs. Elect me and I will know what to do ,” Zahid told Umno Federal Territory delegates during a closed-door briefing at the Putra World Trade Centre today.
Umno currently has 53 seats in parliament.
The former deputy prime minister’s speech to the delegates were also carried on speakers in the hall outside the room.
During the meeting, Zahid said he had friendly ties with almost everyone.
“I’m good with the one who just got out,” he said, in an apparent reference to PKR de factor leader Anwar Ibrahim, who was released from jail last month.
“I have good ties with the ones in Sabah and Sarawak and even with the one formerly from Penang. Only with those from Amanah, I’m less friendly with,” he said.
Zahid had previously said that the Sarawak BN parties had left the BN coalition with his blessing and that they will all work together one day.
He also has a good relationship with Parti Warisan Sabah’s Shafie Apdal.
Zahid said that, based on the six weeks PH has held federal power, it did not appear to be able to govern the country well, citing its recent “proposal” to ban foreigners from working in restaurants.
“It still has the opposition mindset,” he said.
Zahid is one of five candidates vying for the president’s post in Umno’s party polls. His main rivals are veteran politician Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah and former Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin.
More than 100,000 delegates will vote simultaneously for the main office bearers and supreme council members this Saturday.
