No need for Melor by-election as Kelantan state assembly’s dissolution less than two years away, says EC

PETALING JAYA: There is no need to hold a by-election for the Melor state seat in Kelantan which fell vacant following the death of its assemblyman Dr Yusnan Yusof on April 30 this year, says the Election Commission (EC).

EC secretary Datuk Ikmalrudin Ishak said there is no need for the vacancy to be filled although Kelantan was bound by the earlier Emergency Proclamation which had been enforced from Jan 11 to Aug 1.
