EC secretary Datuk Abdul Ghani Salleh said it received notification from the Speaker of Dewan Rakyat at 11am today on the vacant Bukit Gelugor seat following the death of its MP, Karpal Singh (pic).
The special meeting to be held at EC headquarters in Putrajaya will be followed by a press conference by EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof, he said in a statement today.
Karpal Singh,74, was killed in an accident at 1.10 am at Km 306.1 of the North-South Expressway near Gua Tempurung in Kampar, Perak.
Also killed in the accident was Karpal's personal assistant Michael Cornelius.
In the 2013 general election, Karpal Singh (DAP) won the Bukit Gelugor seat with a 41,778 vote majority, beating Teh Beng Yeam from the Barisan Nasional (BN). – Bernama
