HULU SELANGOR, May 11 — The Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election results will be known by as early as 9pm, said Election Commission (EC) deputy chairman Azmi Sharom.
He said he was confident the tallying process would go smoothly, and expects voter turnout to be around 60 per cent.
He said this when met by reporters at the SMK Kuala Kubu Baharu voting centre today.
Azmi said as at noon, the EC was satisfied with the voting process and voter turnout.
“Everything is going smoothly. I haven’t heard of any problems, and access to the voting channel is good for the elderly and the disabled,” he said.
Today’s by-election sees a four-cornered clash between Pang Sock Tao (Pakatan Harapan), Khairul Azhari Saut (Perikatan Nasional), Hafizah Zainuddin (Parti Rakyat Malaysia) and Nyau Ke Xin (Independent). It was called following the death of incumbent Lee Kee Hiong, 58, on March 21 due to cancer.
