Azizi to sit out Nenggiri by-election

Former Nenggiri assemblyperson Mohd Azizi Abu Naim has announced that he will not contest as an independent candidate in the upcoming by-election for the seat scheduled for August.

Azizi (above) said he would instead make way for those from the Pakatan Harapan and BN alliance.

“This is not about the contested seat, but about respecting the spirit of camaraderie among the component parties,” he told reporters in Gua Musang yesterday.

Azizi added that he had sent a letter to Bersatu on Saturday, urging the party to provide clear details regarding his membership termination.

On June 19, Kelantan state assembly speaker Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah announced that the Nenggiri seat fell vacant after a written notice was received under Clause (3) of Article 31A of the Kelantan state constitution concerning Azizi’s membership status.

The Election Commission has set the nomination day and early voting for the by-election on Aug 3 and Aug 13, respectively, while polling day will be on Aug 17.
