Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, speaking at the party’s 79th anniversary on May 11, 2025, in Kuala Lumpur, urged Umno to adapt to a new political reality where Malaysian voters, especially Gen Z and Gen Alpha, are more discerning and less loyal. Political hypocrisy? He noted the absence of a dominant party post-GE14, emphasizing the need for coalitions and power-sharing. Zahid called for modernized strategies to address voters’ trust deficit and digital influences, crediting Umno’s role in the Unity Government for stabilizing Malaysia and boosting investor confidence.
