Umno supreme council member Noh Omar said he has been sacked from the party.
Speaking to reporters at the Umno headquarters, Noh (above) said the supreme council had initially suspended him for six years.
However, Noh - who was present at the meeting - said he had demanded to be sacked instead.
"Why suspend me? Instead, I asked to be sacked. And the president (Ahmad Zahid Hamidi) obliged and gave me the boot with immediate effect,” he said.
Umno information chief Isham Jalil confirmed this version of events in a Facebook post.
Isham also said that the party had initially decided to suspend Noh for "disciplinary breaches" during the 15th general election, but did not go into details.
The supreme council meeting is still in session, and the fate of former Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin is unknown at the moment.
