PETALING JAYA: Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi should support Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob to take over as prime minister, says Tan Sri SA Vigneswaran.

The MIC president said his party will give its support to Ismail Sabri as he is the Barisan Nasional candidate most suitable to be the next prime minister.
