SEREMBAN – The Election Commission (EC) has received the notice of dissolution for the Negri Sembilan assembly yesterday.
State EC Director Mohd Heikal Kamarudin said that the notice was handed in by state secretary Mohd Amin Ludin at the state EC office here.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun had announced the date of dissolution for the assembly to be on this Saturday in line with the consent of Yang Di-pertuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz Ibni Almarhum Tuanku Munawir, paving the way for state elections.
