Instead, Rahman said the party was open to accepting Mahathir back into Umno minus any talk of conditions.
“I think we have arrived at a point where we are no longer angry, only sad to see a statesman like him making a 180 degree turn by supporting the Opposition.
“It’s alright, we’ll wait. The Deputy Prime Minister (Ahmad Zahid Hamidi) has extended a hand to him (Mahathir) to return to Umno but it’s alright.
“We will wait until Mahathir is ready to return to us and if possible, without conditions,” he said at a press conference at the Taman Rancangan Perumahan Awan Fasa 4 here today.
He was referring to Mahathir saying earlier he would consider returning to Umno on two conditions i.e. that Prime Minister Najib Razak was removed as president and the party returned to its original state.
