Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob on Sunday said that he did not have any discussions yet with the top leaders of the UMNO on the date for the next general election.
Ismail Sabri said that only after UMNO’s “top five” discuss the election date then he would talk to other BN component parties including the MCA and the Malaysian Indian Congress MIC while rumours are rife that the elections will be held in late October or early November.
“Then it has to be tabled to the Cabinet because under the Constitution, I must get the Cabinet’s approval before I go to the king, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, to get his consent for parliament to be dissolved, That’s the procedure that needs to be observed,” he said in a speech.
