    KLUANG: The nomination centre for the Mahkota state by-election closed at 10am on Saturday (Sept 14), after being open for an hour from 9am.

    Returning Officer Azurawati Wahid announced the closing of nominations at Dewan Tunku Ibrahim Ismail here.

    Earlier, supporters of candidates intending to contest the by-election began gathering around the hall as early as 6.45am, even though the nomination centre only opened at 9am.

    This by-election is being held following the death of its incumbent, Datuk Sharifah Azizah Syed Zain, 63, on Aug 2

    In the 2022 Johor State Election, Sharifah Azizah, who was also former Johor UMNO Wanita chief, won by a majority of 5,166 votes, defeating Pakatan Harapan’s Muhammad Taqiuddin Cheman, Perikatan Nasional’s Mohamad Nor Lingan, and Warisan’s Mohamed Noor Suleiman.

    Polling is on Sept 28, while early voting is on Sept 24.

    The campaign period has been set for 14 days, starting after the announcement of the contesting candidates on Saturday and ending at 11.59pm on Sept 27. – Bernama
