This left Razaleigh and his supporters unsatisfied. They eventually took UMNO to court after finding discrepancies throughout the voting process. The courts found that some of the delegates that voted were ineligible and UMNO was thus declared illegal. Despite Dr. Mahathir's camp blaming Razaleigh for UMNO being declared an unlawful party, the petitioners who had brought the case to the courts were Razaleigh supporters who did not inform Razaleigh personally of their decision to pursue the case. This was because Razaleigh was unreachable as he had left the country for a holiday owing to his disappointment over the outcome of the election. Thus, Razaleigh could not have given his blessings to move the case forward. Shortly after the court ruling, Dr. Mahathir reestablished UMNO as UMNO Baru (New UMNO), though the new UMNO was badly weakened.
