PUTRAJAYA: The by-election for the Tanjung Piai parliamentary seat will be held on Nov 16.
The Election Commission also announced that nomination day would fall on Nov 2.
The announcement was made by EC chairman Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun on Tuesday (Oct 1).
The Tanjung Piai seat fell vacant after its incumbent Datuk Dr Md Farid Md Rafik, who was also Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, died on Sept 21 at Pontian Hospital due to a heart attack.
Md Farid, 42, who was also Tanjung Piai Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia division vice-chief, won the seat in the last general election after beating MCA's Wee Jeck Seng and PAS' Nordin Othman with a majority of 524 votes. - Star
