JOHOR BARU: The Johor Barisan Nasional convention scheduled for June 14, 2026, may be brought forward, says its secretary Datuk Abdul Halim Suleiman.
He said the possibility arises from recent political developments and the dissolution of the Johor State Assembly.
"We may change it to an earlier date, before June 14," he said briefly on Tuesday (June 2).
Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi announced the dissolution of the Johor State Assembly on Tuesday (June 2) after obtaining the consent of Regent of Johor Tunku Mahkota Ismail, paving the way for a state election.
Onn Hafiz, who is also Johor Barisan chairman, had said that the convention would serve as a key platform to strengthen the coalition's resolve and unity, as well as fine-tune the machinery's preparations for the state election.
Barisan will contest all 56 state seats in the 16th Johor Election. – Bernama
