Malaysia will conduct a general election on November 19, according to the election commission, in a contest that the governing graft-tainted party believes would consolidate its grip on power.
Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob stated that an election will put an end to years of political insecurity.
Candidates for legislative seats must register their nominations by November 5, according to commission head Abdul Ghani Salleh.
About 21 million Malaysians are eligible to vote this year, to elect lawmakers to the 222-seat lower house of parliament.
The party or coalition that wins a simple majority — 112 seats – would form the next government.
