It's BN VS PAS In Manik Urai

KUALA KRAI, July 6 (Bernama) -- The Manik Urai state by-election on July 14 will see a straight fight between Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate Tuan Aziz Tuan Mat and Mohd Fauzi Abdullah of PAS.

Returning Officer Adnan Hussin announced the list of candidates at 11.10am outside the nomination centre at the Dewan Petra, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Sultan Yahya Petra 1, here.

The announcement was greeted by thunderous applause from the sea of BN and PAS supporters.

Tuan Aziz, 39, was the first to file his papers at 9.05am followed by Mohd Fauzi, 50, shortly after.

The nomination process proceeded smoothly despite the presence of thousands of partisan supporters.

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin earlier led BN supporters in a 2.4km march from the Kuala Krai Umno division office to the nomination centre at about 7.20am.
