The Perak state legislative assembly was today dissolved to make way for the 15th general election (GE15), says Menteri Besar Saarani Mohamad.

He said the dissolution of the state assembly had received the consent of the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Nazrin Shah.

"The letter on the declaration of the dissolution of the state assembly effective today was obtained on Sunday," he told a press conference in Tapah today.

According to Saarani, the application for the dissolution was in accordance with Clause 2, Article 36, Part One of the Perak constitution.

Perak has 59 state seats, of which 25 are held by Barisan Nasional, followed by DAP (15), Amanah (five), Bersatu (four), PAS (three), PKR (three), Parti Bangsa Malaysia (three), and independent (one).
