He said the incumbent Datuk Seri Abu Bakar Harun whose passing precipitated the by-election had won by a big majority due to the cooperation of Umno and PAS and to challenge the seat now under difficult conditions due to Covid-19 would be inadvisable. Umno and PAS combined made up 93.5 per cent of the votes there and the two former rival parties formed an alliance after the last general election under the banner of “Muafakat Nasional”.“In 2018 Datuk Bakar won with a huge 4,622 majority in a three-way battle. So for the safety of the people and to avoid campaigning, I hope other parties will not contest this by-election,” Wan Rosdy posted on his Facebook page.

He said the risk of infection and spread of the virus is too high and as such it would be best to avoid any elections until the spread of the virus is in check.
