Kuala lumpur: UMNO President Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi reiterated that the party remains committed to supporting Malaysia's Unity Government, despite revealing that it has received offers of political cooperation from other parties. Ahmad Zahid, who is also Deputy Prime Minister, stated that UMNO continues to uphold its principles and commitment in government formation and political cooperation to ensure national stability.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Ahmad Zahid acknowledged internal pressure for UMNO to leave the government but said the leadership's decision was guided by national interests and the greater good. He emphasized that although there have been offers and attempts to court UMNO, the party has remained faithful to its national mandate and continues to support the Unity Government.

Ahmad Zahid further noted, "As long as the foundations of the nation are respected, nothing is betrayed. Sincerity is not compromised, and UMNO will continue to play its role responsibly." He made these remarks during his presidential policy speech at the UMNO General Assembly 2025.

On January 5, Ahmad Zahid reaffirmed that UMNO and Barisan Nasional (BN) would remain in the Unity Government with Pakatan Harapan (PH) until the end of the current term, despite calls from the party's Youth wing to withdraw.
