00:10Quoting a source, the Malay Daily reported that Khairi had already obtained the blessing of UMNO President Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to return to the party.
00:19According to the source, Khairi is expected to help UMNO and Barisan Nasional campaign in the Sabah state polls,
00:26as many of the candidates expected to be nominated are his friends and around his age.
00:32The source said BN was also considering fielding Khairi as its candidate for the Kepala Batas parliamentary seat in the next general election.
