Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who helmed Umno for more than two decades, has penned an open letter urging grassroots leaders to reject the leadership of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.
With the possibility of defeat looming, he said this must be done before the next general election.
"Reject his leadership before GE14 so that Umno will be safe and be able to win the election to remain as a fair government to all," he added.
Mahathir's open letter was posted on his blog this evening.
The former premier said he resorted to writing on his blog because of the efforts to prevent him from meeting Umno members and the public.
"The machinery used (to block him) consisting of government and party bodies is most effective. This is in itself proof of the wrongs being committed," he added.
Umno is slated to hold its annual general assembly from Dec 8 to 12.
