Khairy Jamaluddin also said that he may consider rejoining the United Malays National Organisation if the leadership changes.
SINGAPORE: Former Malaysian Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said that time is running out for him to agree to run in the upcoming Selangor state elections, seen as the quickest way for a political comeback.
During the 15th General Election, Mr Khairy was moved from his seat in Rembau, Negeri Sembilan to contest in Sungai Buloh, Selangor. He eventually lost to Pakatan Harapan's K Ramanan in a seven-cornered contest. Mr Khairy served as youth and sports minister between 2013 and 2018. He was also deputy president of the Football Association of Malaysia in 2007.
The former United Malays National Organisation youth chief was also sacked from the party last month, as part of a"mass cleansing" exercise that party president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said would rid the party of"saboteurs".
