EC calls special meeting to decide Pelangai by-election dates

State seat vacancy prompted by recent death of incumbent Datuk Seri Johari Harun in Elmina plane crash

7:48 PM MYT

 

KUALA LUMPUR – The Election Commission (EC) will hold a special meeting on Thursday, August 24, to fix key dates for the Pelangai state by-election in Pahang.

EC secretary Datuk Ikmalrudin Ishak, in a statement today, said the by-election was necessitated by the casual vacancy in the seat caused by the death of incumbent Datuk Seri Johari Harun on August 17.

“The special meeting will discuss important dates for the Pelangai state by-election, such as dates for the issuance of the writ of election, nomination of candidates, polling, the electoral rolls to be used, and other preparations for conducting the by-election,” he said.

He said the meeting would be chaired by EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Ghani Salleh, and a press conference would be held after that.

Ikmalrudin said the EC had been officially notified by Pahang Assembly Speaker Datuk Seri Mohd Sharkar Shamsudin about the Pelangai seat vacancy. 

“In line with Chapter IV Article 26 (5) of the Laws of the Constitution of the Pahang Government, the casual vacancy of state seat N.36 Pelangai in Pahang needs to be filled within 60 days from the date the vacancy was determined by the EC,” he said.

Johari was among 10 people killed when a Beechcraft Model 390 (Premier 1) aircraft crashed onto the Guthrie Highway near Bandar Elmina in Shah Alam last Thursday. – August 21, 2023
