The Gerik parliamentary and Bugaya state by-elections are set to be held simultaneously on Jan 16, says Datuk Abdul Ghani Salleh.

The Election Commission (EC) chairman made the announcement on Friday, adding that the nomination day for both by-elections would be on Jan 4, with early voting on Jan 12.

Abdul Ghani added that both by-elections would be guided by the Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOP) that were applied at the Sabah 12th state election, with several improvements.

The by-elections were triggered following the deaths of Gerik MP Datuk Hasbullah Osman on Nov 16 and Bugaya assemblyman Manis Muka Mohd Darah on Nov 17.
