Pakatan Harapan maintains its stance against the dissolution of the State Legislative Assemblies held by the coalition, its chairperson Anwar Ibrahim said.
Speaking to reporters today, Anwar (above, centre) said the consensus of not dissolving the legislative assemblies of the three states - Penang, Selangor, and Negeri Sembilan - led by Harapan was made today in the coalition’s presidential council meeting.
“Our stand, me with Amanah as well as DAP, have made the decision to not dissolve the three state governments.
“It would be wise for us to postpone the state polls to face flood woes,” he told reporters at PKR headquarters today.
Also present at the two-hour-long meeting were DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke, Amanah president Mohamad Sabu, DAP deputy chairperson Gobind Singh Deo, Perak DAP chief Nga Kor Ming, and Harapan communications director Fahmi Fadzil.
Previously, the council decided that its states will not dissolve their respective state legislative assemblies until the monsoon season has passed.
However, DAP’s Penang chapter proposed to reverse the coalition’s decision to put off state elections until the seasonal floods period is over.
