Ignore Umno pressure for early elections, Mujahid urges Anwar
Amanah deputy president Mujahid Yusof Rawa says there are policies that need to be implemented until the government's term expires in December 2027.
Amanah deputy president Mujahid Yusof Rawa urged Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim not to heed Umno's call for early elections. Rawa argued that the current government should focus on policy initiatives, particularly concerning the economy and the well-being of citizens. The government's term concludes near the end of 2027, making the timing of elections a priority.
Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi previously challenged Pakatan Harapan to dissolve Parliament, but Zahid later reaffirmed Umno's commitment to the government until its term ends in December 2027. The unity coalition government was formed in 2022, and Rawa stated that parties seeking to leave the administration are free to do so if they choose to.
