Speaking during a press conference today, Annuar stressed that given the current economic downturn and the remaining pandemic, an election campaign would be detrimental to public interest.“If there is a contest, there must be a campaign. But right now, we are still under the recovery movement control order .
Earlier on June 6, the Pakatan Harapan coalition announced that it will not contest in the by-election, citing the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic as the reason. The state by-election was called after the death of its BN assemblyman Datuk Seri Abu Bakar Harun on May 7.So far, no independent candidates have named themselves for the contest.
