RANTAU PANJANG: Kelantan State assembly Speaker Datuk Mohd Nassuruddin Daud confirmed Wednesday that the notice of vacancy for the Galas state seat had been sent to the Election Commission.
He said the notice was sent at 12.45pm Tuesday.
The seat fell vacant following the death of incumbent assemblyman Chek Hashim Sulaima on Monday at the Al-Islam Medical Centre in Kuala Lumpur, after a long battle with cancer.
Chek Hashim won Galas in the 2008 general election with a 646-vote majority. He polled 4,399 votes to defeat the then incumbent Saufi Deraman of Barisan Nasional.
Galas is one of the state seats under the Gua Musang parliamentary constituency. - Bernama
