State polls: Negri Sembilan proposes dissolving legislative assembly on June 1

SEREMBAN: Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun has proposed that the Negri Sembilan legislative assembly be dissolved on June 1 for the 15th state election.

Aminuddin, who is also PKR vice-president, however, said the proposed date would need the endorsement of the Pakatan Harapan presidential council.

"We will have discussions and the date could change. We also have the meeting of menteris besar (and chief ministers) at the end of February, and we will have informal discussions.

"It is up to the Election Commission whether to hold an election within 60 days… meaning, having it simultaneously with the other states should not be a problem," he told reporters after a Chinese New Year gathering here today.

Yesterday, Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor hinted that the Kedah state assembly would be dissolved after June 18.

He said this was based on several factors, including the fasting month, Hari Raya Aidilfitri, the haj season and Hari Raya Aidiladha.

State elections for Selangor, Penang, Kelantan and Terengganu will also be held this year.-- BERNAMA
