Not up to Umno alone to decide on early GE, says Muhyiddin

 

Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin said it is not up to Umno alone to decide on when the next general election (GE) will be held.

This comes after Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi yesterday said the party’s top leadership will consider a proposal for an early GE submitted by its divisions.

However, Muhyiddin today pointed out that one of the terms of the agreement between Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob and Perikatan Nasional (PN) is that the latter must be involved in discussing when the next national polls will take place. 

“We hear talk out there that there might be a GE soon but actually, it is not just for Umno to decide.

“The PN coalition will also sit together to discuss with them when the time is right, that was one of the terms of agreement for our support, I can tell you that now,” the former premier said during his keynote address at Bersatu’s fourth general assembly at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (Mitec) in Kuala Lumpur.
