Galas by-election on Nov 4,nomination on Oct 26....

The Election Commission (EC) today set Nov 4 as polling day for the Galas by-election, as the nation witnesses its 12th by-election since the watershed March 2008 general elections.

EC deputy chairperson Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said they have set Oct 26 for nominations in the Kelantan state seat, which fell vacant after PAS assemblyperson Che Hashim Sulaima died of cancer on Sept 27.

Che Hashim won the traditionally Umno seat in 2008 by a slim 646-vote majority, benefiting from a swing in Chinese voters to earn a final tally of 4,399 votes to the 3,753 votes collected by Umno's Mohamad Saufi Deraman, who was the incumbent at the time.

SPR juga menamakan Ketua Jajahan Gua Musang, Wan Mustaffa Wan Abdul Halim sebagai pegawai pengurus pilihan raya yang akan dibantu oleh tiga penolong pengurus.Penamaan calon yang dijadualkan pada 26 Oktober ini bakal berlangsung di Bilik Gerakan Jajahan Gua Musang manakala Pusat Sivik Gua Musang akan dijadikan pusat penjumlahan undi pada malam 4 November.
