Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said on Tuesday that it was his prerogative to decide when to dissolve Parliament to pave the way for a general election.
Datuk Seri Ismail's comments came on the same day that his party Umno called hundreds of its leaders to a special meeting in order to ramp up the pressure on him to call an election in 2022.
Mr. Ismail said no political party should interfere in the dissolution of Parliament and the matter was ultimately up to him and the King, Sultan Abdullah Ahmad Shah, who needs to consent to any proposed push for an election.
