00:00UMNO Vice President Johari Ghani's target for UMNO to return to political dominance

00:08after two or three general elections is a realistic target, says analysts who believe

00:14this shows the party's leadership's awareness that they can no longer be arrogant.

00:20Taufiq Yaacob, a political analyst from University Malaya, welcomed Johari's statement and praised

00:27him for his bravery in admitting UMNO will need time to fully recover. He said if UMNO remains

00:34arrogant and claims strength merely based on its place in the unity government, it will face

00:40harsher trials in G16, adding that the party needs to refresh its leadership and give way to new

00:47blood. Meanwhile, Arif Aizuddin from University Technology Mahara said UMNO also needs to win

00:54both Malay and non-Malay hearts. He said UMNO must renew its narrative of struggle and mobilisation

01:02and not be fully reliant on the Malay-Muslim agenda. Yesterday, in his winding-up speech

01:08at the UMNO General Assembly, Johari said both the party's leadership and grassroots must fully

01:14utilise this long period of recovery, including to apologise to the Malays for their mistakes in

01:20administration.
