Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi told the Kuala Lumpur High Court today that former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad had asked him to dissolve Umno because the latter claimed the party had no future and could not be trusted.

Zahid, 69, said at a meeting held in June 2018 after the 14th general election (GE14), Mahathir also asked him to tell all Umno members to join Bersatu for the sake of the Malays.
