DAP predicts that the 15^th general election will be held next year, says secretary-general Anthony Loke said.

He said it is unlikely that the government would hold the elections soon as it is in the midst of addressing inflation in the country.

“The next window of opportunity will be after tabling Budget 2023 but it is also unlikely that the general election would be held towards the end of the year, at the time of the monsoon season,” he said.

Loke said it was very likely that the general election would take place after Hari Raya Aidilfitri next year (in April) or perhaps sooner.

The present parliament term will expire in July next year.

On the use of a common logo for the opposition coalition contesting in the next general election, he said no final decision had been made on the matter and hoped it would be finalised by next month. – Bernama, July 5, 2022.
