Terengganu MB to seek sultan's consent for state assembly dissolution tomorrow

Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar will be having an audience with the Sultan of Terengganu Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin tomorrow to obtain his consent to dissolve the state legislative assembly and pave the way for the state election.

According to the Rhu Rendang assemblyman, he will be presenting the proposal for the dissolution of the state assembly at Istana Syarqiyyah here at 9am tomorrow.

Asked about the proposed date, he said the matter will be announced after his audience with the sultan.

"Tomorrow I will have an audience with Tuanku in the morning as I have received consent for the meeting. As soon as I have informed His Highness (I will announce the date).

"It is better if I inform the sultan, Insha Allah before putting out a release," he told reporters in Kuala Terengganu today.

Samsuri also said the term of the Terengganu assembly will end on June 30.

The Terengganu state assembly has 32 seats with 22 seats under PAS after the 14th general election, while the rest went to Barisan Nasional.
