Bukit Gelugor by-election: PAS man throws his hat into the ring

GEORGE TOWN: A PAS member is all set to contest in the upcoming Bukit Gelugor by-election.

Mohamed Nabi Bux Mohd Nabi Abd Sathar, 63, said his main purpose for standing in the by-election was to educate the people of Penang about PAS’ hudud.

The retiree, who is a Gombak PAS member, said he will seek to bring changes to the constituency should he win.

He also stressed that he would seek to contest under the PAS banner, but would run as an independent should he not get the party’s approval.

The Bukit Gelugor seat fell vacant following the untimely demise of its member of parliament Karpal Singh on April 17.

Polling is on May 25 with nomination day set for May 12.
