PUTRAJAYA: Another rumour that Parliament would dissolve today was again put to rest with no announcement by Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak.
Reporters from various media organisations who had waited outside the Prime Minister’s Department here since this morning were again left disappointed with no announcement from the prime minister’s office.
Amid a flurry of activities here, Najib continues to show no indication when Parliament would be dissolved to pave way for the country’s 13th general election.
FMT understands that Najib was in talks with key BN leaders today to discuss setting the election date and fine tune their lists of candidates.
Negeri Sembilan became the first state in the country to reach an automatic dissolution yesterday.
Parliament will automatically dissolve on April 29 and elections must be held 60 days from then.
In total, some 13 million registered voters are eligible to cast their ballots in this election.
