The Nenggiri by-election was called following the Kelantan state seat being declared vacant on June 19 after previous assemblyman Mohd Azizi Abu Naim lost his Bersatu membership six days earlier.

The by-election sees a straight fight between Barisan’s Mohd Azmawi Fikri Abdul Ghani, also known as Awie, representing the unity government, and PAS candidate Mohd Rizwadi Ismail, representing Perikatan Nasional.
