KOTA BHARU - Former Bachok MP Nik Abduh Nik Abdul Aziz will not be contesting at the upcoming state elections in Kelantan.

The son of the late Kelantan menteri besar Tan Sri Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat's was not listed for the Chempaka state seat during the Perikatan Nasional Kelantan's candidates list announcement at Dataran Warisan Stadium Sultan Muhammad IV here, tonight.
