PUTRAJAYA, March 17 (Bernama) -- Barisan Nasional (BN) has finalised its candidate for the Ayer Kuning state by-election.
BN secretary-general Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir said the candidate will be announced by BN chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is also UMNO president.
“BN is also preparing its machinery to face the by-election,” he told reporters at the Higher Education Ministry’s Ihya' Ramadan programme here today.
The Election Commission (EC) has set the polling day for the Ayer Kuning by-election on April 26, with the nomination and early voting on April 12 and 22, respectively.
The Ayer Kuning by-election is called following the death of incumbent Ishsam Shahruddin on Feb 22 due to a heart attack.
In the 15th General Election (GE15), Ishsam, who was also the Tapah UMNO Division Chief, won with a majority of 2,213 votes in the five-cornered contest.
