KUALA LUMPUR : Pas candidate, Datuk Seri Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar won the Kemaman Parliamentary By-Election (PRK) after obtaining 64,998 votes, which is a majority of 37,220 votes on Saturday.
He defeated the Barisan Nasional (BN) Candidate General (B) Tan Sri Raja Mohamed Affandi Raja Mohamed Noor who only got 27,778 votes.
The decision was announced by Kemaman Parliamentary Elections Officer, Ahmad Farhan Abdul Wahab.
A total of 141,382 registered voters are eligible to elect new representatives in this Kemaman by-election.
For the record, the Kemaman parliamentary seat was previously represented by BN through Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek for three terms, before changing hands to Che Alias in GE14.
In GE15, Che Alias managed to defend the Kemaman parliamentary seat by defeating the former Terengganu Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Ahmad Said by obtaining a majority of 27,179 votes.
Che Alias got 65,714 votes, while Ahmad got 38,535 votes. However, Che Alias' victory was annulled after the Election Court on September 26 received a petition filed by BN candidate Wan Mohamad Hisham Wan Abdul Jalil.
