Cabinet at odds over having GE15 this year
- 2 years ago
Cabinet did not come to a consensus on whether the 15th general election should be held this year, according to Utusan Malaysia.
Citing an anonymous cabinet minister, the Malay daily said ministers from Bersatu and PAS were among those who objected to having polls this year.
The report claimed that these ministers wanted the government to focus on flood management and the economy first.
Some ministers were reportedly against holding the election before Budget 2023 was tabled on Oct 7. The cabinet met yesterday.
