Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said that the original Muafakat Nasional between Umno and PAS was done in a sincere fashion, but that gave way to something dishonest.

The Bagan Datuk MP cited as a turning point - the widened cooperation with Bersatu, a party that he says is bent on Umno's destruction.

He added that there were parties who created various excuses in trying to justify that it was Umno that did not comply with the charter.
