As expected, the daggers are out for Umno president and BN chairperson Najib Abdul Razak, with the coalition losing power in the 14th general election.

According to Berita Harian, Kedah Umno Youth chief Shaiful Hazizy Zainol Abidin urged the former prime minister to relinquish his post in Umno.

Terengganu Umno Youth chief Mohd Johari Abu Bakar also called on Najib to make way for younger leaders.

"Kedah Umno Youth had previously been consistent in defending the president but, in the interest of the party's continuity in future, we demand that Najib be magnanimous and vacate his position.

"Give it to leaders who are younger and more capable.

"It is clear that he failed to govern and defend the power which we have held for 60 years," Hazizy was quoted as saying.

Shaiful urged the transition of power in Umno to be expedited.

"We can no longer bear his (Najib's) personal liabilities. The party must arise and do a holistic transformation," he added.

Mohd Johari said Umno must be transformed entirely, with new leaders, and fight for the will of the people.

"The 14th general election is a new start for Malaysia, where the sacred voice of the people who chose change is clear," Johari said.

The BN only won 79 seats in Wednesday’s GE14, while Pakatan Harapan and its allies, including Parti Warisan Sabah and a PKR-backed independent, captured 122 seats, while PAS gained 18 seats.
