KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 18 — The Election Commission (EC) has received notification letters regarding the dissolution of the 14th state legislative assemblies of three states from their respective Speakers.
EC secretary Datuk Ikmalrudin Ishak said the commission received the letters from Pahang and Perlis on October 14, and from Perak yesterday (October 17).
“As such, the important dates of the elections for three states will be discussed simultaneously at the EC special meeting held on October 20,” he said in a statement yesterday.
Pahang, Perlis and Perak chose to dissolve their state assemblies following the announcement of the Parliament’s dissolution by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri on October 10, paving the way for the 15th General Election.
There will be 42 state seats contested in Pahang, 15 state seats in Perlis, and 59 state seats in Perak.
