Snap election: Harapan state gov'ts won't dissolve before expiry of term

All states that are under Pakatan Harapan administration will not dissolve their state assemblies in the event a snap election is called, the coalition said today.

According to a statement, the Harapan presidential council meeting held this morning decided that the federal and state governments should be focused on helping the people after the Covid-19 pandemic hit the country instead of going for election.

"The presidential council is consistent with our stand that the federal and state governments must focus on helping the rakyat post-Covid-19.

"Thus, we are of the view that if a General Election occurs before the expiry of the five-year term, then the state governments that are under Pakatan Harapan's administration should be continued and not be dissolved," said the statement.

The statement, signed by chiefs of all three parties of Harapan, was released after the council concluded its meeting.
