JOHOR BAHRU - Johor Pakatan Harapan (PH) has set up an election main committee for the Pulai and Simpang Jeram by-elections next month.

In a joint statement here today, Johor PH said the committee will be headed by State Amanah chairman Aminolhuda Hassan.

"Johor PH is not taking the two by-elections lightly. We will finetune our strategies to ensure wins for both seats.
