"DAP will continue to support the Pakatan Harapan Presidential Council's decision not to dissolve the Penang, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan state assemblies so that the respective state governments can continue to focus to face any possible disaster."
He also said that DAP had repeatedly expressed their stance that general elections are not suitable to be held during floods.
This comes after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob today while announcing the dissolution of Parliament urged the heads of state governments except Sabah, Sarawak, Melaka and Johor to dissolve their respective assemblies on the same date as the general elections. .
Furthermore, Loke said DAP's election machinery will be activated immediately to face the GE15 campaign.
"DAP's Central Executive Committee (CEC) will hold an emergency meeting tomorrow night (Tuesday) to discuss the party's preparations for GE15."
"All party leaders and members will be deployed to campaign for the people's mandate for Pakatan Harapan to form the federal government after GE15," he added.
