The Najib Razak Solidarity Fund has raised RM9.25 million as of 10am today, but is still short of its RM50 million target, according to Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

The fundraising drive, launched by Umno on September 18, aims to help former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak settle a RM50 million fine and ease his financial burden.
