The former Perak menteri besar said it was unnecessary and inappropriate for the Johor state assembly to be dissolved, though he conceded that his party would still take part in the polls.
Faizal also said it was too early to talk of an election pact between Perikatan Nasional (PN) and Barisan Nasional (BN), adding that the party was still united in its support for Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
He maintained that helping the people should be the priority of all political leaders now, especially after the recent flood crisis.
Rumours of early state elections began circulating last month shortly after the death of Bersatu’s Kempas assemblyman and former Johor menteri besar Osman Sapian on Dec 21.
The state government, comprising BN and PN, has 28 seats, with only a one-seat majority over Pakatan Harapan in the state assembly.
