KUALA LUMPUR: The Umno leadership should take collective responsibility for the party's historic loss in the 15th General Election (GE15), says Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin.
"All the leaders should be responsible as it was a collective decision.
"If there are to be any resignations, then everyone should resign including me," the Sabah Umno state liaison committee chairman said after attending the party's political bureau meeting at Menara Dato Onn at the World Trade Centre here on Sunday (Nov 20).
When asked if the meeting discussed calls for party president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to resign, Bung said there wasn’t.
"It has not reached that stage yet. We will be discussing it," he said in reference to an Umno supreme council meeting which was supposed to be held at 3pm on Sunday (Nov 20) but was called off.
When asked when the meeting would be held, Bung said that the question should be directed to Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan.
Asked on what he thought of Umno's dismal performance in the polls, the supreme council member said it was the worst in the party's history.
"The people have rejected us and that is okay. We offered stability but the rakyat rejected it and so we have to look at other efforts," he said.
