KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 17 — Barisan Nasional’s Mohd Azmawi Fikri Abdul Ghani secured a morale-boosting for his coalition today, convincingly winning by-election for the Nenggiri state seat in the PAS bastion of Kelantan.
According to the Election Commission, Mohd Azmawi won the seat with a majority of 3,352 votes over his rival, Perikatan Nasional (PN) candidate Mohd Rizwadi Ismail from PAS, flipping the seat with a margin of victory over 4-times what PN managed in the state election last year.
Result will be additional blow for PN, which triggered by-election by stripping former Bersatu lawmaker Mohd Azizi Abu Naim of seat after he declared support for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
PN has a virtual stranglehold over the Kelantan state assembly, where PAS and Bersatu control 42 out of its 45 seats now. Umno supreme council member Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan was among party leaders already claiming the victory online. At the final count, Mohd Azmawi secured 9,091 votes compared to the 5,739 his rival polled.
