Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said he has been granted an audience with the Yang Dipertua Negeri of Penang Ahmad Fuzi Abdul Razak tomorrow to obtain consent to dissolve the Penang legislative assembly on June 28.
"I have received the appointment from the governor's office and will be meeting him tomorrow at 8am. After that we will have a press conference at about 2.30pm at Komtar to be attended by all state assemblymen," he told reporters in George Town today.
Penang has 40 state constituencies, and in the 14th general election, Pakatan Harapan won 37, including two by Bersatu candidates, while BN won two and PAS one.
Penang will be going to the state polls soon, along with Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu.
Meanwhile, Chow, who is Penang Harapan chairman, said the coalition aims to win between 30 and 32 seats this time around.
He said achieving that target would be considered a satisfactory result.
