Amendment doesn’t affect GE15 date, says PM


KUALA LUMPUR: The amendment of Umno’s constitution to enable party elections to be held six months after the 15th General Election will not influence the date of election itself, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

He explained that the amendment was an internal party matter while the date of the general election would be determined by the government based on the decision of the Cabinet.
