KKB by-election: 32 pct voter turnout at noon

HULU SELANGOR: Some 32.51 per cent of eligible voters have cast their ballots for the Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election as of noon, the Election Commission reported.

A total of 39,362 people are eligible to vote in today's by-election, triggered by the death of its three-term incumbent, DAP's Lee Kee Hiong.

Voting ends at 6pm across 17 polling stations in Kuala Kubu Baharu.

The voting centre in SJKC Bukit Fraser where there are only 40 registered voters, will close at 2pm.

The by-election sees a four-cornered fight involving Pang Sock Tao (Pakatan Harapan), Khairul Azhari Saut (Perikatan Nasional), Hafizah Zainuddin (Parti Rakyat Malaysia) and Nyau Ke Xin (Independent).
