SHAH ALAM - The Johor State Assembly has been officially dissolved after weeks of speculation and calls from Umno leaders for fresh polls.

Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar shared a post, stating that he has signed the dissolution notice after granting an audience to Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Hasni Mohammad.

An election must be held within 60 days after the dissolution, which means that it must take place latest by March 23.

Talks of an election grew stronger after the Barisan National-led (BN) government’s majority reduced to only one seat following the death of former Menteri Besar, Bersatu’s Kempas assemblyman Datuk Osman Sapian last month.
