Pakatan wants PM's word no polls till reforms in place

  • 9 years ago
Pakatan MPs want Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to guarantee that the general election will not be called until after the parliamentary select committee on electoral reform has finished its work and the reforms it proposes are in place.

"These reforms must be finalised, announced and completed, in toto, before the 13th general election is called," Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar said at a joint press conference by Pakatan MPs at PAS headquarters in Kuala Lumpur today.
