THE Election Commission (EC) has set September 28 as the polling day for the Mahkota state by-election in Johor.

EC chairman Datuk Seri Ramlan Harun said that nomination day for the seat is on September 14 and early voting on September 24.

He announced the dates at a press conference after chairing a special meeting at the EC headquarters in Putrajaya to discuss dates for the by-election.

The seat became vacant following the death of its incumbent, Datuk Sharifah Azizah Syed Zain, 63, on August 2 at Hospital Enche’ Besar Hajjah Khalsom (HEBHK) in Kluang.

The former Johor Wanita Umno chief had been admitted to HEBHK’s intensive care unit after experiencing breathing difficulties. – August 13, 2024.
