BN risks losing GE15 if not held this year, says Ahmad Zahid


PETALING JAYA: Delaying the general election means giving "ammunition" to the Opposition to attack Barisan Nasional, says coalition chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

He added that Umno leaders and the grassroots were confident that it is timely to hold the polls this year, and further postponement could risk a defeat.
