Prime Minister Najib Razak has announced the dissolution of Parliament.
In a 15-minute televised announcement today, the Prime Minister said the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on Wednesday gave his consent to the dissolution of Parliament, paving the way for the 13th General Elections.
This will be Najib's first attempt to seek a mandate since taking over from ex-PM Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who led Barisan Nasional to their worst ever polls performance in March 2008.
In those elections, Pakatan Rakyat gave BN a bloody nose, denying them their two-thirds Parliament majority as well as wresting control of four states (while retaining the PAS stronghold of Kelantan).
Five years on, the effect of Najib's transformation plans will be put to the test in what is going to be the most tightly contested elections in Malaysian history.
