PUTRAJAYA – The Election Commission (EC) is now holding a special meeting to set nomination and polling dates for the coming elections in six states, namely Selangor, Negri Sembilan, Penang, Kelantan, Terengganu, and Kedah.
EC chair Tan Sri Abdul Ghani Salleh is chairing the meeting, expected to take about an hour, and a press conference is scheduled to be held after that.
Also present at the meeting are EC deputy chair Azmi Sharom, secretary Datuk Ikmalrudin Ishak, EC members Zoey Randhawa, Mohd Faisal Syam Abdol Hazis, Datuk Nik Ali Mat Yunus, and Datuk Dr Lee Bee Phang, and senior EC officers.
These six states will hold their polls soon because they did not dissolve their assemblies together with the dissolution of Parliament for last November’s general election.
Among the six, Kelantan was the first to dissolve its assembly, on June 22, followed by Selangor on June 23; Penang, Terengganu, and Kedah on June 28; and Negri Sembilan on July 1. – Bernama, July 5, 2023
