KUANTAN: Independent Chini by-election candidate Tengku Datuk Zainul Hisham Tengku Hussin has received Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's endorsement.

Zainul, 64, is in a three-way matchup against Barisan Nasional's Mohd Sharim Md Zain, 41, and Independent candidate Mohd Shukri Mohd Ramli, 49, in the fight for the state seat.Zainul, who is contesting under the"house" symbol, was the Pekan Bersatu division deputy chief.
It is understood that any Bersatu member who contests in an election as an Independent would automatically be expelled from the party.
