PUTRAJAYA - Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is of the view that the best time to hold the 15th general election (GE15) would be in July next year.

Dr Mahathir, who is Pejuang chairman said this was because it was also the period when the 14th parliamentary term ends.

"Follow the election schedule (and) that would be the best date,” he told a media conference after witnessing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Pejuang Muda and the Silver Gold Collector Group here today.

GE15 must be held no later than mid-September 2023, which is within 60 days after the current parliamentary term is automatically dissolved on July 16, 2023.
