GUA MUSANG, Police have approved 16 campaign permits for parties contesting in the Nenggiri state by-election from nomination day last Saturday until today. Gua Musang district police chief Supt Sik Choon Foo said of the total, 10 permits were for ceramah (political talks) and the remaining were for mobile campaigns. He also said that no permit applications have been rejected so far. 'A total of eight permits have been approved for Barisan Nasional (BN), with two for ceramah and six for mobile campaigns, while for PAS, all eight permits approved are for political talks,' he said when contacted today. The Nenggiri by-election was called after Kelantan State Assembly Speaker Datuk Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah declared the seat vacant on June 19 because its assemblyman, Mohd Azizi Abu Naim, had ceased to be a member of Bersatu on June 13. The by-election is a straight fight between BN's Mohd Azmawi Fikri Abdul Ghani, who is representing the Unity Government, and PAS candidate Mohd Rizwadi Ismail. The Election C ommission has fixed polling for Aug 17. Source: BERNAMA News Agency
