Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said he was unaware of any plans by Negeri Sembilan Umno to move against the incumbent Menteri Besar, effectively blocking speculation about an imminent challenge to the state leadership.
The Umno president's statement comes amid persistent reports of internal tensions within the state party branch, with various factions reportedly at odds over the direction of the state government.
Zahid's remarks suggest that any no-confidence motion would require backing from the party's top leadership to gain traction, and that no such support has been sought or granted at this stage.
The denial underscores Umno's effort to maintain a united front at the state level, even as the party continues to navigate complex political dynamics across multiple state governments in the region.
