UMNO supreme council member Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani was recently quoted in the press saying; "I am always of the opinion that the single largest party must either lead the government or the opposition. You cannot be somewhere in between. When you are somewhere in between, it will create lots of political instability."

This comes amidst reports that Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has issued an ultimatum to Umno (https://www.thestar.com.my/opinion/columnists/analysis/2021/02/22/muhyiddin-throws-ultimatum-at-umno) regarding whose side it will be on in the next elections.
