Signs of general election to be held next year?
- 9 years ago
Prime Minister Najib Razak said today that he would be visiting all the states from March.
He said his deputy Muhyiddin Yassin would also do the same.
"This can be considered a programme of visits to the states and I will start with Sarawak in March," he said after attending a gathering with the residents of Felda Jengka 25, Temerloh.
Asked whether it signified that the general election would be held next year, Najib said: "Why must everything be connected to the general election? It can be held anytime."
He was earlier asked to comment on the statement by Umno vice-president Hishammuddin Hussein yesterday that the prime minister and Muhyiddin would be visiting the states from this Tuesday to get close to the people, and the series of visits was expected to end in September.
Najib replied: "At the last Umno general assembly, I had promised to do this and in fact, I had already started and visited many places to meet the people."
