It is the best chance for BN to end the opposition's winning streak by fielding Mohd Isa Abdul Samad in Bagan Pinang by-election.
Mohd Isa Abdul Samad vs Zulkefly Mohamad Omar
By picking Isa, who is popular with the grassroots, Umno is seen as riding roughshod over public sentiment.
The high level of Malay support and large number of postal votes are the factors that dominate Umno to win the by-election.
The Bagan Pinang state by-election on Oct 11 will see a straight fight between Barisan BN and PAS.
BN is fielding former Menteri Besar Tan Sri Mohd Isa Abdul Samad while PAS is represented by Zulkefly Mohamad Omar, the party's state commissioner.
Returning Officer Abdul Wahab Shamsuddin announced the contest at 11.25am after the objection period had ended.
Mohd Isa, 59, was the first to arrive at the nomination centre at Port Dickson Municipal Council hall at 9.05am, naming N. Kandiah as the proposer and Kaw Yoh See as the seconder.
About 10 minutes later, Zulkefly filed in his nomination papers, with Baharom Bujang as the proposer and Sarif Kasim as the seconder.
The seat fell vacant following the death of incumbent assemblyman Azman Mohammad Noor of BN on Sept 4. In the 2008 general election, Azman defeated PAS' Ramli Ismail with a majority of 2,333 votes.
There are 13,664 voters in Bagan Pinang, including 4,604 postal voters. The constituency has eight polling districts namely Pekan Siliau, Teluk Kemang, Ladang Atherton, Ladang Bradwall, Kampung Bagan Pinang, Taman Eastern, Sua Betong and Si Rusa.
