KUALA TERENGGANU: Terengganu Ruler Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin has granted an audience with Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar (pic) at Istana Syarqiyyah here.
It is believed that the audience on Tuesday (June 27) was sought by the Menteri Besar to obtain the Ruler’s consent for the dissolution of the state assembly to pave the way for the state polls to be held.
Ahmad Samsuri, who is also the Terengganu Perikatan Nasional chairman, arrived at the palace at 8.38 am and upon seeing the waiting members of the media at the gate, he waved to them through an open rear window of his car.
He is expected to issue a written statement later.
Pas wrested the state back in the 14th General Election in 2018 after winning 22 out of the 32 state seats, while Barisan Nasional managed to secure 10.
The five-year mandate for the Pas-led state government ends on June 30. - Bernama
