Malaysiakini

SLIM POLLS | The Election Commission (EC) has set the by-election for the Slim state seat in Perak to be held on Aug 29.
EC deputy chairperson Azmi Sharom (above) announced that the nomination will be on Aug 15, while early voting is on Aug 25.
“The campaigning period is set for 14 days beginning after the (official) naming of contesting candidates until 11.59pm on Aug 28,” he told a press conference after attending the meeting on the by-election today.
The Slim seat fell vacant after its incumbent Mohd Khusairi Abdul Talib, 59, died on July 15 at the Bentong Hospital, Pahang due to a heart attack.
Mohd Khusairi who represented BN had retained the seat with a majority of 2,183 votes in the 14th general election in 2018 in a three-cornered fight against Bersatu’s Mohd Amran Ibrahim and Muhammad Zulfadli Zainal of PAS.
