CHUKAI – The Kemaman by-election is quite unique because the early voting process today would only involve three voters.
The spouses of military personnel will cast their ballots at the Kijal police station, here, which will be open from 8am to noon.
All 387 police and six armed forces personnel eligible for early voting have cast their votes by post.
Terengganu police chief Datuk Mazli Mazlan said the instruction was issued to all personnel involved to change from early voting to voting by post to ensure focus on rescue works during the flood season.
METMalaysia has forecast rain in the morning until evening.
The by-election for the parliamentary seat will see a direct fight between Barisan Nasional candidate, former defence forces chief Tan Sri Raja Mohamed Affandi Raja Mohamed Noor, and Terengganu Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar of PAS.
The Election Commission has set December 2 as polling day for the Kemaman by-election, which needs to be held following the decision of the Terengganu election court on September 26 to nullify the victory of PAS candidate Che Alias Hamid in last year’s general election. – November 28, 2023
