Accroding to The Star report, Tun Dr Mahathir announced in his home state of Kedah that he has quit Umno, and he urged other party members to quit too, as a way of pressuring Abdullah into vacating his post.
HOWEVER, he advised those who do quit not to join any opposition party, so that they can all rejoin Umno once Abdullah is removed.
In an immediate response to the breaking news, Musa Hitam's protege Shahrir Samad advised people to "prepare for another general election".

"I was surprised that he resigned and does not want to be in Umno anymore," the premier told reporters, after years of feuding between the pair. "I had never thought that he would actually take the step to leave the party.
“Mahathir is a popular leader and there will be some impact from him quitting the party. But I don’t foresee many party leaders following his footsteps,” said Abdullah.
“If the members love Umno, they won’t leave the party. I didn’t quit the party despite all the difficulties I went through.”
Asked whether he would step down to take responsibility for disastrous results in March 8 elections, he replied: "Why should I? I still have a lot of work to do."
"The important thing is that Umno has to remain calm and understand that its members have to be loyal to the party and be strong and continue to carry out the struggle," he said.
