Najib, now an ordinary party member, was greeted by shouts of “Hidup Najib”. He was there to hear the opening speech by his successor Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
It is Umno’s first general assembly since the May general election.
Najib resigned as the Umno president three days after Barisan Nasional’s shock defeat in the polls.
