Kelantan announces Nov 4 holiday for Galas balloting

KOTA BARU — Kelantan has declared the polling day for the Galas state by-election on November 4 as a public holiday, State Secretary Datuk Mohd Aiseri Alias said in a circular.

“The state government has agreed to declare Thursday, November 4, as a ‘cuti peristiwa’ (occasional holiday) for the whole state in conjunction with the by-election,” he said.

The by-election was called following the death of its incumbent Chek Hashim Che Sulaima on September 27.

Nomination is on this Tuesday. — Bernama
