KUALA LUMPUR: The date for the tabling of the Election Commission’s (EC) electoral redelineation proposal in the Dewan Rakyat will be decided soon, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. Dr Ahmad Zahid, who is Barisan Nasional’s Chief Whip, said he will meet with the Prime Minister and the Speaker of the House to discuss when the proposal can be tabled. “The date has not been set for the tabling yet because there are debates on the King’s speech (going on) in the Dewan Rakyat, and after that there will be replies from ministers followed by the tabling of new Bills. Dr Ahmad Zahid said that upon being tabled, the redelineation proposal would be debated by the Dewan Rakyat and will be voted on, either by block voting or voice vote. On a separate matter, Dr Ahmad Zahid said that Pakatan Harapan’s manifesto showed that its leaders and parties were “consistently inconsistent”.
