According to the report, the PM said he met with the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong this morning and received His Majesty’s consent to dissolve Parliament. To facilitate the GE, 11 state assemblies will also be dissolved today and tomorrow. On March 27, the Negri Sembilan state assembly was dissolved automatically while Sarawak had its state election in April 2012.
With this move, the EC will meet in the next few days to set the dates for nominations and polling that must he held within 60 days of the commission receiving the notices of dissolution from the state legislative assemblies that have yet to be dissolved.
Two hundred and twenty-twp parliamentary seats and 505 state seats are up for grabs in the forthcoming GE.
Let's pray that the road ahead of us will allow us to have a peaceful, free and fair electoral process in our nation's journey to establish a new government.
