Johor Polls: 593 Forms Sold, 133 Prospective Candidates Paid Deposits – EC

JOHOR BAHRU, June 26 -- A total of 593 nomination forms for the Johor state election have been sold so far, but only 133 prospective candidates have confirmed their participation by paying the required deposit.

Of that number, 133 candidates have made the deposit payment, meaning they have confirmed their participation so far.

Ramlan gave an assurance that all 56 nomination centres across the state were fully prepared after the EC conducted two consecutive days of trial runs. On security arrangements, Ramlan reminded all political parties, candidates and supporters to comply with regulations and avoid any provocation to ensure nomination proceeds in a peaceful and orderly manner. Maharani returning officer Zainal Eran said supporters of political parties attending tomorrow's nomination process would be placed in designated areas separated by barriers to prevent any untoward incidents. "Only the candidate, proposer and one supporter will be allowed to enter the nomination centre in accordance with the established procedures. "Other supporters will be placed at the field in front of the centre, where barriers will be erected to separate supporters of each party to prevent any undesirable incidents," he said. Pakatan Harapan has announced it would field candidates in all 56 seats, comprising 20 from PKR, 19 from Amanah and 17 from DAP.

UMNO Will Continue To Support Unity Govt Until Next Election – Asyraf Wajdi

KUALA LUMPUR, June 11 -- UMNO will continue to support the Unity Government that was formed after the 15th General Election (GE15) until the next general election, in line with the decree of His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, Kinfg of Malaysia. UMNO Secretary-General Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said this stance was decided during the UMNO Supreme Council (MKT) meeting chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is also the UMNO President, at Menara Dato’ Onn here tonight. At the same time, he stated that the agreement to form the Unity Government at the Federal level does not bind any state government. According to him, the Johor State Government was formed before the creation of the Federal-level Unity Government and did not involve parties from Pakatan Harapan (PH). Asyraf Wajdi added that the decision by UMNO and Barisan Nasional (BN) to defend the state mandate is not a form of betrayal against the Federal Government, as claimed by certain parties. "On the contrary, it is a legitimate, mature, and constitutional democratic practice that fully returns the mandate to the people," he said. He also mentioned that UMNO remains open to any form of cooperation with any party for the sake of the country's political stability and the well-being of the people; however, any cooperation must be built upon the principles of sincerity and trust. -- BERNAMA
