Pahang MB urges others not to contest Chini polls after Pakatan pull-out


KUANTAN: Following Pakatan Harapan's announcement that it will not contest the Chini by-election, Pahang Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail (pic) is asking other political parties and independent candidates to follow suit by giving way to Barisan Nasional.

He said this would prevent movements and activities during the 14-day campaign period that could contribute to the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.
