According to MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong, the 16th General Election (GE16) is expected to take place within the next four to five months. He cites the historical pattern of previous governments dissolving Parliament before the completion of a five-year term. Wee noted that the durations of these administrations were generally between four years, three years and eight to 11 months.

Upon opening the MCA Johor Annual Convention in Yong Peng, Wee stated that MCA is prepared for GE16 and will continue to strengthen its machinery across the country. He acknowledged that the timing of the election would need to consider various celebrations, including Chinese New Year, Ramadan, and Hari Raya Aidilfitri, which make it difficult to pinpoint a suitable date.

Wee emphasized that MCA is ready for the election at any time and their preparation should not be limited to a specific timeframe.
