SEREMBAN: The Election Commission (EC) received the notice of dissolution for the Negeri Sembilan state assembly.
Negri EC director Mohd Heikal Kamarudin told Bernama that the notice was handed in by state secretary Mohd Amin Ludin at the state EC office here on Wednesday (June 28).
Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun had announced that Saturday (July 1) would be the date of dissolution for the Negri state assembly, in line with the Yang di-Pertuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz Ibni Almarhum Tuanku Munawir's consent, paving the way for state elections.
Negri Sembilan is one of six states – Kedah, Selangor, Pulau Pinang, Kelantan and Terengganu – required to hold state elections this year.
Negri has 36 seats, 20 of which were won by Pakatan Harapan (DAP-11, PKR-six, Amanah-three) and the remaining 16 by Barisan Nasional (Umno-15 and MIC-one) in the last state election. – Bernama
