HULU SELANGOR: Two candidates contesting in the Kuala Kubu Baharu state seat by-election crossed paths at the Batang Kali morning market here.
Pakatan Harapan candidate Pang Sock Tao met Perikatan Nasional candidate Khairul Azhari Saut and exchanged pleasantries before continuing their campaign with members of their election machinery yesterday.
Pang hoped that all parties could conduct their campaigns in a healthy manner.
“I hope this spirit continues,” she added.
Bentong MP Young Syefura Othman, who accompanied Pang during her walkabout, said she would use her experience when she first became a people’s representative in Ketari state constituency and Bentong parliament, both in Pahang.
The campaign atmosphere appeared to be lukewarm despite the flag war between contesting parties, reported Bernama.
A total of 40,226 registered voters are eligible to cast their ballots in the by-election.
