The Permatang Pauh by-election will take place on May 7 where the poll will see a four-corner fight between Suhaimi Sabuding, PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, Parti Rakyat Malaysia (PRM)'s Azman Shah Othman and independent Salleh Isahak.
The by-election was called after incumbent Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was disqualified as a member of parliament over his sodomy conviction. Anwar is currently serving a five-year prison sentence for sodomising his former personal aide.
