EC announces Sept 9 for Pulai, Simpang Jeram by-elections

KUALA LUMPUR: By-elections for the Pulai parliamentary seat and Simpang Jeram state seat in Johor will be held on Sept 9, says the Election Commission (EC).

EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Ghani Salleh said the nomination of candidates for the by-elections will be held on Aug 26, while early voting is set for Sept 5.

This follows the death of Amanah deputy president Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub, the elected representative for the two seats.

Salahuddin, who was also the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living minister, died at Hospital Sultanah Bahiyah in Alor Setar, Kedah, on July 23 after suffering a brain haemorrhage. He was 61.
