JOHOR BAHRU: Johor chief minister Hasni Mohammad said that he will seek the consent of the state’s ruler Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar at 5pm on Saturday (Jan 22) to dissolve the state assembly, paving the way for elections to be held. Mr Hasni made the announcement while speaking to journalist

as the state assembly has a slim majority.

Bersatu was one of the key components which rules the Johor state government, alongside the UMNO-led Barisan Nasional coalition. He explained that the seat fell vacant more than three years after the incumbent was elected in the 14th general election in May 2018, hence a by-election is not required.
