The Ayer Kuning by-election will be taking place on 26 April, and it is going to be a three-cornered fight between Barisan Nasional’s Mohamad Yusri Bakir, Perikatan Nasional’s Abdul Muhaimin Malek and Parti Sosialis Malaysia’s Bawani Kaniapan.
The election for one out of the 59 state seats in Perak is taking place due to the passing of incumbent Ishsam Shahruddin of BN.
