JOHOR BARU – Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s push for a general election after July seems to confirm insider talk of intense lobbying for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob to dissolve Parliament.

Buoyed by the decisive win in Melaka, Umno is equally confident of taking Johor as the southern state heads to the polls tomorrow.

Once Umno regains its stronghold, it is learnt that party grassroots and warlords will demand for party vice-president Ismail Sabri to call for a general election.

In a press conference after a ceramah here, Zahid cited “feel-good factors” are on Barisan Nasional’s (BN) side and opportunity is ripe for a general election after July.

He said since the factors are favourable for BN, there should be a new federal mandate to return stability to the country.

He added that the opposition should not be given the chance to get its act together and that the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between the federal government and Pakatan Harapan ends in July.
