Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan said Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob has strongly hinted that the 15th general election will be held this year.
Speaking at a Pahang BN gathering yesterday, Mohamad said Ismail Sabri has made a commitment to hold an election soon.
"However, he can't give a date. He was forced to tell us 'surely I cannot wait until next year'. (So) it is clear that the election will be this year.
"If it is this year, surely it would not be in December. People will have to swim to (the ballot booth). Pahang doesn't have ordinary floods. It has huge floods," he added.
