KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob (pic) today repeated his stance that he will not delay, even for a second, the dissolution of the Parliament to make way for the 15th General Election (GE15) once Barisan Nasional (BN) is fully prepared.
He said it was as discussed and agreed upon during the last Umno General Assembly.
“I say that when we are fully prepared, I will not delay, even for a second, to dissolve the Parliament. And as agreed in the Umno General Assembly, I will discuss this with the Top Five in Umno.
“And today, I agreed that we will also discuss with the BN leadership in deciding the date (of the dissolution of Parliament),” he said at the BN Convention held in conjunction with BN’s 48th anniversary celebration here today.
The Top Five in Umno refers to party president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan and the three vice-presidents namely Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin, Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid and Ismail Sabri himself.
