Sg Bakap polls: I feel like this is my place, says Joohari


NIBONG TEBAL: Despite not being a voter in Sungai Bakap, Pakatan Harapan candidate Dr Joohari Ariffin felt he belonged.

"I feel like this is my place. I see many familiar faces," he said when he visited the SK Sungai Duri polling station.

Earlier, Joohari, 60, arrived at SK Sungai Duri with his election campaign team.

The former teacher expressed his gratitude and noted that the turnout at SK Sungai Duri was encouraging.

Joohari is a voter in the Sungai Acheh state constituency, part of the Nibong Tebal parliamentary constituency.

The by-election is a straight fight between Dr Joohari and Abidin. It is being held following the death of incumbent Nor Zamri Latiff on May 24 due to stomach inflammation.

The Sungai Bakap state poll is the eighth by-election since GE15. Previous by-elections were for the Kuala Terengganu parliamentary seat in Terengganu, the Simpang Jeram state seat and the Pulai parliamentary seat in Johor, the Pelangai state seat in Pahang, the Jepak state seat in Sarawak, the Kemaman parliamentary seat in Terengganu and the Kuala Kubu Baharu state seat in Selangor.
