Kedah Menteri Besar Mukhriz Mahathir said today 95 percent of Kedahans support his leadership, and questioned Umno on why there is a need to replace him.

Mukhriz said the impression given by the media and Umno is that all the Kedah divisions have turned against him but Jerlun, the division he heads, is solidly behind him.

But what is more important to him are the two million Kedahans and their 95 percent support, he added.
