Pressure from UMNO on Yaakob I guess got too much. UMNO faction leaders want early elections because they think UMNO will win a large majority and early elections avoids Yaakob from consolidating his power which is good for the UMNO faction leaders.
This is a big risk. Monsoon season is coming up soon so they have to rush out this election asap and get it done quick. Any mishaps along the way will boomerang back on UMNO.
What is the likeliest election date?
