IT will be a “smart move” by the Selangor government to dissolve the state assembly ahead of the 14th general election to ward off the effects of the re-delineation of electoral boundaries in favour of Barisan Nasional, analysts said.

Commenting on the contentious re-delineation exercise by the Election Commission, they said holding state polls ahead of GE14, which must be held before August, can be an advantage to Pakatan Harapan in Selangor.
