KUALA LUMPUR – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has just announced the dissolution of Parliament effective today, nine months ahead of the end of its full term.
Ismail Sabri’s announcement was televised live just after 3pm in a special address from the Prime Minister’s Office in Putrajaya.
A snap general election will now be held within 60 days of the dissolution, and the Election Commission will meet to set the date.
It is widely speculated, however, that the 15th general election (GE15) could be held in early November to avoid the peak of the year-end monsoon season.
In the 2013 and 2018 general elections, the precedence was to hold polls one month after Parliament’s dissolution.
Ismail Sabri said in his announcement that the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah had given royal consent to the dissolution of the 14th Parliament.
The prime minister had an audience with the Agong yesterday before his majesty left for an official visit to London until October 16.
