The nation will witness its 12th and 13th by-elections since the watershed 2008 general elections next month with today's announcement by the Election Commission (EC) that Nov 4 is the polling day for the Batu Sapi by-election, which is the same day set for the Galas by-election.EC chairperson Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof said the EC has set Oct 26 for nominations for Batu Sapi, a parliament seat in Sabah, also coinciding with Galas, a state seat in Kelantan after both seats became vacant following the sudden death of their representatives - PBS parliamentarian Edmond Chong Ket Wah, who was killed in a motorbike accident on Oct 9, and PAS assemblyperson Che Hashim Sulaima in Galas who died of cancer on Sept 27.
