BINTULU - Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) candidate Iskandar Turkee is believed to have won the Jepak by-election, according to unofficial results.

Iskandar will serve as the new Jepak assemblyman after garnering an unassailable lead in votes.

The Jepak by-election is a three-way contest between Iskandar Turkee of Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS), Stevenson Joseph Sumbang (Parti Bumi Kenyalang) and Chieng Lea Phing (Sarawak People's Aspiration Party).

The by-election was called following the death on Sept 15 of six-term assemblyman Talib Zulpilip, who was state minister of for integrity and ombudsman.

The Election Commission said that the turnout at 4pm was about 46 per cent of the 22,804 registered voters.

Three polling centres closed at 4pm, while the remaining 11 closed at 5.30pm.
