KUALA LUMPUR: The Election Commission (EC) has not yet received official confirmation about the dissolution of the Melaka state legislative assembly. Datuk Seri Ramlan Harun, the EC chairman, stated that a special meeting to discuss the state election will be convened once they receive the official notification from the Melaka Speaker.
The EC has taken note of the announcement regarding the dissolution of the Melaka state assembly, which is set to take effect tomorrow.
