"The basis is political stability. The state elections are not a general election (GE) so there will not be any changes at the central level,” he said.

The Election Commission has set Aug 12 as the polling date for the state elections in Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Penang, Kelantan, Terengganu dan Kedah, as well as the Kuala Terengganu by-election, with early voting on Aug 8.
