The Kuala Terengganu by-election was held following the decision of the Terengganu Election Court on June 27 in nullifying the victory of Ahmad Amzad, who is also former Science, Technology and Innovation Deputy Minister during the 15th General Election after elements of corruption during the campaign period were found.

The by-election was held simultaneously yesterday with the state elections involving Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Penang Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu. — Bernama
