PONTIAN, Sept 18 — Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan said he is confident that the 15th general election would be held this year which has three months to go.
“We have held mass meetings in all our states, the meetings involved every division. In short there is nothing else left to do.
“So what the PM (Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob) said about dissolution being within a short time, clearly shows that GE15 will be held as soon as possible,” he told reporters during the Farmers’ Sports Carnival in conjunction with Malaysia Day here today.
He said this when asked to comment on Ismai Sabri’s speech yesterday which hinted that GE15 is not too far away.

PETALING JAYA: Gerakan president Dominic Lau says it is unlikely that the next general election will be held this year.
“GE15 may not be held this year due to a lack of time, and the number of PAS and Pakatan Harapan-led states that don’t support the dissolution,” Lau said at a press conference.
He said given the importance of the coming election for Gerakan, the party would work to improve on its “weaknesses”.
Penang Gerakan chief Oh Tong Keong disclosed that he had asked the party’s central committee to consider contesting GE15 in Penang under Gerakan’s own flag.
“This is because many in Penang believe we are still in Barisan Nasional, which could cause the rakyat to reject us at the elections,” Oh said. Using Perikatan Nasional’s flag would have a similar result, he added.

Dominic Lau probably has been informed by Muhyiddin. So it's now UMNO versus PN as to when GE15 will be held.
I don't trust Turtle-Egg thus Dominic Lau may be correct!
GE 15 won't be called until LowYat 2 Man has iron clad assurance that he will remain PM after a BN win.
ReplyDeleteHe's going to make sure he won't get to be a lame duck PM who calls a GE, campaigns, wins and still gets replaced.
Of course, if BN fails to win the GE, he's gone.
