The 15th General Election may be held some time soon as Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Ismail Sabri alluded yesterday that Parliament will be duly dissolved should Barisan Nasional (BN) is confident of victory in the national polls. Speaking at the annual UMNO General Assembly yesterday, Ismail asserted that the party ‘won’t wait even for one second longer’ to dissolve Parliament and pave way for GE15 if UMNO and BN’s victory is assured.
As reported by Malaysiakini, the Prime Minister said that he has heard the voices of UMNO delegates during its general assembly wanting for snap polls. Hence, he will be discussing the matter with the party’s top five leaders, the supreme council as well as his government’s Cabinet before presenting any proposal to dissolve Parliament to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
