The by-election was held following the death of incumbent Datuk Seri Abu Bakar Harun, 60, at Kuala Lumpur Hospital due to a heart attack on May 7. Abu Bakar was Chini state assemblyman since the 11th general election in 2004.
It is the first by-election to be held since enforcement of the Movement Control Order (MCO) on March 18, with several SOP introduced, including a special stream for voters aged 60 and above.
Chini is considered to be a Barisan Nasional stronghold and lies within the broader Pekan parliamentary constituency held by Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
