The seat of Kuala Besut fell vacant after the death of incumbent assemblyman, A. Rahman Mokhtar on 26 June 2013 from lung cancer.[1] Dr. Mokhtar was an assemblyman from the United Malays National Organisation, a component party of the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition, which holds a 1-seat majority into the by-election. The by-election was contested by Tengku Zaihan Che Ku Abdul Rahman from UMNO and Azlan Yusof, who hails from the Pakatan Rakyat component Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party.[2]This by-election is viewed as critical by both the government and opposition. A win by Pakatan Rakyat would have resulted in a hung parliament with both coalition holding 16 seats, and potentially a fresh state election.[3][4]The by-election was won by BN’s Tengku Zaihan with a slightly increased majority, thus keeping the government’s wafer-thin 2-seat majority.[5] Turnout in this by-election dropped by 7% compared to the turnout during the general election two months before.Results[edit]Terengganu state by-election, 24 July 2013: Kuala BesutThe by-election was called due to the death of incumbent, Abdul Rahman Mokhtar.PartyCandidateVotes%\u2206%BNTengku Zaihan Che Ku Abdul Rahman8,28859.27Pan-Malaysian Islamic PartyAzlan Yusof5,69640.73Total valid votes13,984 100.00Total rejected ballots125Unreturned ballots0Turnout14,10979.79Registered electors17,683Majority2,592BN holdSwingSource(s)“Pilihan Raya Kecil N.01 Kuala Besut”.
