UMNO Supreme Council member Datuk Mohd Puad Zarkashi previously opposed Khairy's return in May 2025. He argued that the party does not need "populists" who do not bring benefit and that Khairy lacked loyalty. Puad warned that negotiating his return could anger the party's grassroots members who respect party decisions.
