Out of 191 Umno divisions nationwide, 132 have expressed support for their president, Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, disclosed Hishammuddin Hussein.

According to the Umno vice-president, this was tabulated through the resolution each division had passed during their respective assemblies held between July 27 and Aug 31.

Hishammuddin, who also helms the party's resolution committee, said none of the divisions stated that Najib should quit, including the Sepang division , where several grassroots leaders called for the prime minister's resignation yesterday.

"What is more important is whether there is a division which came out with a no-confidence resolution against Najib's leadership. I am telling (you), there isn't one," he told reporters.

However, the defence minister did not provide a direct answer when quizzed on the stand of the remaining 59 divisions.

"There is no necessity for them to come out with a resolution to support (Najib)," he said.
