The Election Commission today announced that the by-elections for Bukit Gantang parliamentary seat in Perak and the Bukit Selambau seat in Kedah will be held simultaneously on April 7. The commission has fixed March 29 for nominations and campaigning would last 9 days.
Nominations come a day after the Umno general assembly which will be held from March 24 to 28. This will be the first by-election for Najib Abdul Razak in his capacity as prime minister should the power transition between him and Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi take place as promised next month.
Speaking after chairing a meeting in the EC headquarters in Putrajaya this morning, its chairperson Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof said it would be better to hold the by-elections simultaneously so as to avoid a long campaign period for the two seats. If we fix the by-elections on different dates, other issues will arise and this could threaten public security," he said.
Abdul Aziz denied that the by-election dates were fixed after taking the Umno general assembly into consideration, saying: "It has nothing to do with the Umno polls. Everyone is comfortable with this decision because we feel the date would be suitable for the by-elections."
Firstly, PM may still remain PM after March. Read Anil Netto's Badawi billboard sets tongue wagging.
Secondly, why EC seems so concerned about public security? What is the use of police then?
Lastly, everyone is comfortable with this decision? Hello, did you take a poll and ask everyone in Bkt Gantang & Bkt Selambau? Or your 'everyone' means 'everyone in Umno'?
