PUTRAJAYA – The Election Commission (EC) has fixed October 7 as polling day for the Pelangai state seat by-election in Pahang.

EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Ghani Salleh said nomination and early voting for the by-election have been fixed on September 23 and October 3 respectively.

He announced this at a press conference after chairing a special EC meeting at Menara SPR here today to decide the important dates related to the Pelangai by-election.

Apart from Johari, who was also a Pahang executive councillor, nine others died in the crash involving the Beechcraft Model 390 (Premier 1) aircraft. – Bernama, August 24, 2023
