Your MP Quit. You Don't Get A New One.
Published 2 weeks ago
Description
Wong Chen has resigned as MP for Subang, and the Election Commission has confirmed there will be no by-election to replace him. That follows the resignations of Rafizi Ramli in Pandan and Nik Nazmi in Setiawangsa — three constituencies now without an elected representative, potentially until the next general election. So what actually governs a casual vacancy, and what happens to constituents left without an MP to turn to?
