Eighty Umno branch leaders in the Muar division have urged its leaders to hold an EGM for the division to call for party president Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to step down.
The group, which also included those in the division committee, Wanita and Youth wings, gathered at the house of Datuk Kadar Shah Tun Sulaiman to seek his views before making their decision.
The leaders, disappointed when division chairman Datuk Mohd Ismail Mohd Shah lost the Maharani state seat in the recent general election, felt it was time for Umno to be revamped.
Spokesman for the group, Zakariah Mahadi, said the party leadership should take responsibility for the polls results and step down.
Zakariah, a former Sungai Balang assemblyman, said many Umno members in the division were also sad over the loss of Perak, Kedah, Penang and Selangor to the Opposition.
“We have also decided to give our support to Gua Musang MP Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah in his bid to revive Umno’s dignity,” he said after the gathering yesterday. Star

Hamba sokong Ku Li lawan Pak Lah dalam Pemilihan UMNO. Hanya Tengku Razaleigh sahaja sekarang ini yang boleh menyelamatkan UMNO.
Umno is going through the storming period. The storm will blow away all the rubbish before norming. It is good for Umno and the country. We need people like Zaid Ibrahim to clean up the mess. So for all that to take place we need Pak Lah to stay for a while under close watch. Of course without Khairy.
