Kuala Lumpur: Umno on Friday reiterated its stance and commitment to defend the ruling Unity Government until the 16th General Election.

Its President Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is also Deputy Prime Minister, said if there is any party trying to challenge the position of the Unity Government, Umno and all the component parties in the coalition will continue to ensure that the Government will last until the end of the term. “We should feel more confident about our presence in the current government and we must support the current government because all goods and harms have been taken into consideration. Alhamdulillah our presence in the Unity Government will also ensure our survival. “Imagine if we fall into those factions, our history (Umno) has been erased. Now they are also saying that this Government will be replaced next month or in August. So, Umno is standing firm, especially our Supreme Council and our partners in Barisan Nasional, that we will continue to defend the Unity Government for the sake of political stability in the country.”

Ahmad Zahid said the evolution of world politics has seen many countries now forming multi-party governments either in the name of a coalition government or a unity government.
