In the just-concluded general election, BN won 16 state seats, Perikatan Nasional (PN) secured 17 and PH won eight seats. In total there are 42 state assembly seats in Pahang.
Polling for the Tioman state seat was postponed following the death of PN candidate Md Yunus Ramli, 61, on GE15 polling day on Nov 19, believed to be due to a heart attack.
