‘Avoid by-election for vacant Gerik seat’

IPOH: Perak Perikatan National and Perak Umno have called on all parties to avoid having a by-election for the Gerik parliamentary seat, which fell vacant following the death of incumbent MP Datuk Hasbullah Osman.

Perak Perikatan chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu said having a by-election would involve campaigning and this could contribute to the Covid-19 spread.
