PETALING JAYA: Barisan Nasional has named Amizar Abu Adam as its candidate to defend the Pelangai state seat in Pahang on Oct 7.
Amizar is the Bentong Umno division committee member.
The by-election is being held following the death of Umno assemblyman and exco member Johari Harun in the plane crash near Bandar Elmina in Shah Alam on Aug 17.
Last week, Bernama quoted Pahang BN chief Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail as saying the party will not take the by-election lightly even though the seat has been its stronghold for decades.
Nominations will be held on Saturday, and early voting has been set for Oct 3.
In the 15th general election, Johari won the seat with a 4,048-vote majority in a four-cornered contest against candidates from Perikatan Nasional, Pakatan Harapan and Pejuang.
