Negeri Sembilan assembly to be dissolved tomorrow

 The last Negeri Sembilan election was held in August 2023.

Menteri besar Aminuddin Harun said the Yang di-Pertuan Besar, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, had consented to his request to dissolve the state assembly.

PETALING JAYA:

The Negeri Sembilan legislative assembly will be dissolved tomorrow, paving the way for the 16th state election to be held within 60 days.

Menteri besar Aminuddin Harun said the Yang di-Pertuan Besar, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, had consented to his request to dissolve the state assembly.

“The assembly will be dissolved effective tomorrow, June 5,” he said.

The move follows weeks of political tension, triggered last month when all 14 Umno-Barisan Nasional assemblymen in the state announced that they had withdrawn their support for Aminuddin over his handling of the controversy involving four chieftains who sought to remove Tuanku Muhriz as Yang di-Pertuan Besar.

Umno’s central leadership subsequently ordered its assemblymen to continue backing the state government, but both Pakatan Harapan and Umno leaders publicly called for dissolution as the cleanest resolution. - FMT
