Kathmandu,

October 11,

Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob has called early elections after months of political in-fighting among politicians in his ruling coalition.

The elections would come nine months before Parliament’s term expires, following calls for early polls from Ismail’s United Malays National Organization. UMNO, the biggest party in the ruling coalition, was feuding with its allies and is aiming for a big win on its own.
