Nomination process ends smoothly, BN wins two seats unopposed
The Sarawak’s 11th state election today ended smoothly with Barisan Nasional winning two state seats, Bukit Sari and Bukit Kota, unopposed.
The announcement was made by Election Commission (EC) chairman Datuk Seri Mohd Hashim Abdullah at the EC’s office today.
“Two candidates won unopposed in N79 Bukit Kota Dr Abdul Rahman Ismail from the BN and N82 Bukit Sari Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hassan from BN,” he said at the press conference in Kuching.
In the 2011 Sarawak state election, BN did not win any seat uncontested.
Meanwhile, Sarawak chief minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem will be challenged by PKR candidate Jazolkipli Numan for the Tanjung Datu state seat.
PBB deputy president II Datuk Abang Johari Tun Opek is facing a straight fight with PKR’s candidate Mohamad Salleh Shawakat Ali for the Satok state seat.
Voting will be held on May 7.
