EC to meet on June 28 over Nenggiri by-election


PETALING JAYA: The Election Commission (EC) has received notice of the Nenggiri seat in Kelantan being vacated and will hold a special by-election meeting on June 28, says its secretary Datuk Ikmalrudin Ishak.

In a statement on Wednesday (June 19), the EC said the sudden declaration of the seat being vacated would need further discussion as the law dictates that the seat has to be filled 60 days from the date the commission is notified by the Speaker.
