Bersatu deputy president Ahmad Faizal Azumu has hinted that he may return as the Perak menteri besar after he was forced out of office in December last year.
He conveyed this at the Sabah Bersatu anniversary celebration in Kota Kinabalu on Monday.
"Sabah is the only state that is helmed by Bersatu after the Perak menteri besar was forced to resign," Ahmad Faizal was quoted as saying by Harian Metro.
"But as (the actor Arnold Schwarzenegger said in) The Terminator, 'I'll be back'," he added.
Ahmad Faizal did not make clear whether he would return before or after the next general election.
Bersatu has pledged to cooperate with PAS in the next general election after Umno decided it will to part ways with Perikatan Nasional once the date for GE15 is set.
On Dec 4 last year, Ahmad Faizal resigned as the menteri besar after 48 out of 59 state assemblypersons voted against him in a confidence motion.
Following this, Perak Umno chief Saarani Mohamad was appointed as the new menteri besar.
Umno has the largest share in Perak State Legislature, with 25 seats. DAP has 16 seats, Bersatu has seven, Amanah has five, while PAS and PKR have three seats each.
Only Bersatu and PAS had backed Ahmad Faizal. Titi Serong assemblyperson Hasnul Zulkarnain Abd Munaim, the sole Bersatu representative who voted against Ahmad Faizal, was sacked from the party.
Meanwhile, Ahmad Faizal said it wasn't right to describe Bersatu as an inexperienced party.
"The party is said to be inexperienced (setahun jagung), cannot lead and should be led instead, but the term in politics is outdated and inaccurate because what is important is our presence and ability are accepted by the people," he said.
