Datuk Seri Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar said they will discuss on holding state elections at the same time.
“We don’t know yet (on simultaneous state elections) until we communicate and discuss with other states. We have discussed informally last year, Insya-Allah we will discuss it as soon as possible,” he said.
He said this after officiating the 2022 YT-TI Young Talent Scholarship Programme Recipient Appreciation Ceremony for 10 outstanding students selected at Wisma Darul Iman, here, today.
Samsuri said he hopes the state election in the six states would be held simultaneously.
The Pas Vice President said Perikatan Nasional (PN) led Terengganu, Kelantan and Kedah have agreed to hold simultaneous state election at an appropriate date.
The six states did not dissolve their assemblies during the 15th general election (GE15).
The Election Commission had previously said the cost of six states was estimated to cost of RM450 million.
