Face to face campaigns not allowed, says EC

"Candidates are encouraged to campaign using social media and they will be allowed to put up banners at election areas." - Datuk Abdul Ghani Salleh

PUTRAJAYA: Candidates in the Gerik and Bugaya by-elections will not be allowed to conduct ceramah, walkabouts or house-to-house visits, as part of the Election Commission (EC)’s Covid-19 prevention measures.

Instead, candidates of the two by-elections are encouraged to reach out to their voters via social media, said EC chairman Datuk Abdul Ghani Salleh.
