Candidates Urged to Arrive Early, Supporters to Avoid Provocation for Negeri Sembilan Elections

Election Commission of Malaysia (SPR) chairman Datuk Seri Ramlan Harun emphasized the need for early arrival of candidates at nomination centers to ensure orderly proceedings for the Negeri Sembilan state election. He stressed the importance of cooperation from all candidates and urged supporters to refrain from any form of provocation.

Ramlan also reminded contesting parties to comply with established regulations and avoid common mistakes during the campaign period. He made these remarks after inspecting preparation sites for nomination centers in various state constituencies within Seremban.

Explaining the nomination center setup, Ramlan noted that SPR is adopting a parliamentary constituency approach for Negeri Sembilan, a departure from the district constituency method used in Johor. This means eight nomination centers will be established in Negeri Sembilan, compared to 56 in Johor. He stated that the approach depends on local conditions and needs, citing examples of Sabah and Johor using the district method while Negeri Sembilan will use the parliamentary one for suitability.
