With PKR out, Pahang MB wants others to step aside in Chini

CHINI POLLS | Pahang Menteri Besar Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail (above) hopes other parties and potential independent candidates will also stay out of Chini after PKR announced it won't be contesting the by-election there.

Wan Rosdy said this would allow Umno a walkover in the state seat, which fell vacant after its incumbent four-term assemblyperson Abu Bakar Harun passed away on May 6.
