Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob is expected to have an audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, at 4 this afternoon.
Berita Harian reports that rumors have been swirling that Ismail Sabri will seek the consent of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to dissolve the Dewan Rakyat to make way for the 15th General Election (GE-15).
A dissolution will allow GE-15 to be held earlier so as to avoid the monsoon season and floods that are expected to arrive mid-November.
Umno’s Supreme Working Council (MKT) previously decided that GE-15 would be held this year as well.
Officially, Ismail Sabri is to appear before the Yang di-Pertuan Agong this afternoon to present the 2023 Budget but rumors say he will also seek permission to dissolve the Dewan Rakyat.
Stay tuned to find out what happens!
