PUTRAJAYA – No candidates have won uncontested in the 15th general election (GE15) while six nomination papers were rejected, according to the Election Commission (EC).

EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Ghani Salleh, in a press conference on the nomination process throughout the country today, said a press release on this matter would be issued later today.

He said the Batu parliamentary seat in Kuala Lumpur has the most number of candidates at 10.

“For contests in state legislative assemblies, N47 Chenderiang in Perak takes the record with a seven-cornered fight,” he said.

Abdul Ghani said the Bugaya state by-election in Sabah is also witnessing a seven-cornered contest. – Bernama
