Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi today alluded that Pakatan Harapan-led state governments were “power hungry” for not dissolving their legislative assemblies.

He accused the opposition coalition of fearing losing power and of wasting public funds by not holding concurrent elections with the federal polls.

This comes as Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, who is an Umno vice-president, announced that Parliament was dissolved yesterday, paving the way for the 15th general election (GE15).
