BN gives way to Amanah in Simpang Jeram, Pulai by-elections

Move emphasises importance of political collaboration, fairness, says Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi

KUALA LUMPUR – Barisan Nasional (BN) will give way to Amanah to contest the by-elections for the Pulai parliamentary and Simpang Jeram state seats in Johor on September 9. 

BN chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the decision was made in the spirit of political collaboration in the unity government.

“We respect equality in the unity government, and we know that the Pulai parliamentary seat belongs to Amanah, which is a political partner in the government, and they are the incumbent.

“The Simpang Jeram state seat also belongs to Amanah. So, in the spirit of the Madani government, we support both seats to be contested by Amanah,” he told the media after launching the TVET Jelita programme at World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur today.

The Election Commission today fixed the polling day for the by-elections for the Pulai parliamentary seat and Simpang Jeram state seat for September 9.

The dates for the nomination of candidates and early voting for the two seats are August 26 and September 5, respectively.

The by-election for the Pulai parliamentary seat and the Simpang Jeram state seat is being held due to an unexpected vacancy following the death of incumbent Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub on July 23.

Salahuddin, 61, who was also the domestic trade and cost of living minister, died at Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital in Alor Star, Kedah, at 9.23pm after undergoing a brain haemorrhage surgery. – August 3, 2023
