Annuar Musa: Hold GE if political instability continues

Barisan Nasional (BN) secretary-general Tan Sri Annuar Musa believes a general election would be the answer if the ongoing discussion between Umno and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) does not end well for both.

He said that if there was still a slim majority in terms of the political cooperation between the parties, then the country should head towards election.

“We should find a way… maybe (we) can discuss with the Election Commission (EC) holding the election online (then) call for election and solve the people’s problem.

“It cannot go on like this. The people will judge us on whether we can deliver for the rakyat,” he told reporters after attending a public sanitisation exercise at Presint 4 here, today.

Last week, Umno’s political bureau, chaired by president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, proposed new terms in exchange for a continued working relationship with the Perikatan Nasional government.

Umno secretary-general Datuk Ahmad Maslan had also said the party was considering withdrawing its support for PN.

Recently, Annuar revealed that discussions among Umno, Pas and Bersatu have begun to resolve an impasse affecting their political cooperation. Nst
