Rumours of Khairy's return to the party began circulating in October, with some reports suggesting that he had received Zahid’s "blessing" to re-enrol as a member.

Although some leaders and rank-and-file members are uneasy with the Prime Minister’s alignment with the DAP, Umno is expected to stay the course, as the risks of leaving the administration currently outweigh the benefits.
