Not advisable to call general election at this time, says Khairy


PUTRAJAYA: Holding a general election soon would be an irresponsible move, says Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

He said the recent increase in Covid-19 hospitalisations, coupled with the emergence of the B.1.1.529 variant, meant that it would not be a good idea to hold the 15th General Election (GE15) soon.
