Ismail Sabri: Choose stable government, avoid hung Parliament

GE15 | Caretaker prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob urged voters to exercise wisdom when discharging their responsibility by electing a stable government and to avoid a hung Parliament where no party gets a majority to form an administration.

He said BN is capable of forming a government by getting a simple majority required with its ally coalitions, namely Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) and Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS).

He said any cooperation with other parties in the peninsula to form a government would have to be discussed and decided by the party leadership after the polls.

"Our target is to be able to ‘cross the bridge’ with more than 112 (parliamentary) seats with the help of BN allies in Sabah and Sarawak to form a government," he stated, after casting his vote at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Bandar Kerayong today.

Meanwhile, Ismail Sabri expressed his condolences to the family of Perikatan Nasional (PN) candidate for the Tioman state seat, Md Yunus Ramli, who died early today. He also conveyed a similar wish to the PN leadership.

Yunus, 61, died at the Rompin Hospital at about 3.30am today resulting in the Election Commission postponing polls for the Tioman state seat, which is in the Rompin parliamentary constituency.

Tioman is one of the 42 state seats in Pahang.
