SEREMBAN: The Election Commission (EC) has received the notice of dissolution for the Negri Sembilan state legislative assembly.

State EC director Mohd Heikal Kamarudin told Bernama that the notice was handed in by state secretary Mohd Amin Ludin at the state EC office here on Wednesday.

Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun had announced that the Negri Sembilan state legislative assembly would be dissolved on July 1, in line with the consent of Yang di-Pertuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz Ibni Almarhum Tuanku Munawir, paving the way for state elections.

Six states – Kedah, Selangor, Penang, Negri Sembilan, Kelantan and Terengganu – will hold the state elections this year.

Negri Sembilan has 36 seats, 20 of which were won by Pakatan Harapan (DAP 11, PKR six and Amanah three) and the remaining 16 by Barisan Nasional (Umno 15 and MIC one) in the last state election.
