Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob denies that he is waiting for Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s criminal trial to conclude before calling for the 15th general election (GE15).

“If people say that I want to drag (until) his (Zahid) case is over, to wait until he is convicted or acquitted, how can I know as the court will decide on the case?” he pointed out.
