DEWAN Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof (picture) has confirmed that a by-election will be held for the Kimanis parliamentary seat within the next 60 days.

In a statement yesterday, Mohamad Ariff said he had received a letter from the Election Commission (EC) regarding a vacancy of the seat starting today (Dec 10), following the Federal Court’s ruling to uphold the Election Court’s decision last week to nullify Datuk Seri Anifah Aman’s victory in Kimanis during the 14th General Election (GE14).
