GOMBAK, May 15 — Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari is set to seek an audience with the Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj to request to dissolve the Selangor legislative assembly next month.
The Menteri Besar said that the Selangor Ruler will decide on the matter which will be announced after the meeting.
“InsyaAllah (God willing) I will seek an audience before His Royal Highness departs to perform haj as the state assembly is set to dissolve on June 25 automatically.
“There is a process that we have to go through and we would have to wait for a suitable time to announce it (the audience) as we are still in the month of May.
“Discussion has started but the decision is up to His Royal Highness,” said Amirudin when met at the Malaysia Madani Aidifiltri Open House Rewang Sekampung programme at Dewan Beringin in Taman Sri Gombak, here yesterday.
On February 22, Amirudin said that five Menteris Besar and a Chief Minister from six states reached a consensus to consider the dissolution of their respective state assemblies in the last two weeks of June 2023 to pave the way for their state elections.
Amirudin said the consensus would be further discussed within their respective parties before being presented for the consent of their respective rulers and governors.
The six states that will hold their state elections this year are Negeri Sembilan, Penang, Selangor, Terengganu, Kelantan and Kedah.
