In an immediate reaction after the assembly ended, Mahathir revealed that he was prepared to return to Umno, most possibly because of Abdullah's retirement as Umno president today.
The 83-year-old former premier resigned from Umno last May after a bitter falling out with his annointed successor.
However, Mahathir had set some "conditions" before making his decision, but did not eleborate on them.
"I will rejoin Umno only with the conditions that I have set. (Only then), I will rejoin," he said, adding that he would join "at an appropriate time".
His presence at the assembly today has sent some shock waves through Umno, with talks of him returning and play a key role in the party which he had led for 22 years.
In response to a question whether he would be asked to be an 'adviser' to the government, Mahathir said 'no' but added that he would be more than happy to give his views.
