EC meeting on April 4 to set dates for Kuala Kubu Bharu by-election

Seat fell vacant following death of assemblyman Lee Kee Hiong on March 21

9:52 PM MYT

 

KUALA LUMPUR – The Election Commission (EC) will hold a special meeting on April 4 to set the dates for the Kuala Kubu Bharu state by-election in Selangor.

EC secretary Datuk Ikmalrudin Ishak said EC had received official notification from Selangor state assembly speaker Lau Weng San regarding the casual vacancy in Kuala Kubu Bharu. 

“As provided for under Chapter 5 Clause (5) Article LXX of the Selangor State Constitution 1959, the casual vacancy must be filled within 60 days from the date the vacancy occurred and was confirmed by EC,” he said in a statement today.

Ikmalrudin said the special meeting, which will be chaired by EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Ghani Salleh, will discuss important matters such as the date for election writ, nomination day, polling day, the electoral rolls to be used and other preparations.

A press conference will be held after the meeting, he said.

The Kuala Kubu Bharu seat fell vacant following the death of its assemblyman, Lee Kee Hiong of DAP, on March 21.

Lee, 58, held the seat for three terms from 2013. She died after battling cancer for several years. – March 26, 2024
