2014 Kajang by-election

A by-election was held for the Selangor State Assembly seat of Kajang on 23 March 2014 following the nomination day on 11 March 2014.[1][2] The seat was vacated after the incumbent assemblyman, Lee Chin Cheh resigned on 27 January 2014.[3] Lee was an assemblyman from the Parti Keadilan Rakyat, a component party of Pakatan Rakyat. He won by a majority of 6,824 votes against 5 other candidates in the general elections in 2013.[4]

Federal parliamentary opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim had confirmed to stand as the Pakatan Rakyat candidate in the by-election.[5] However, due to the unusually swift conviction by the Court of Appeal in his sodomy case, his wife Wan Azizah Wan Ismail replaced him as the PR candidate.[6][7] Barisan Nasional, which forms the opposition in the Selangor Assembly, named MCA vice president and former Petaling Jaya Utara MP Chew Mei Fun as their candidate.[8]

The by-election was won by Dr Wan Azizah with a majority of 5,379 votes.[9] The turnout in this by-election decreased by 16% from the general election in 2013.[10][11]
