BN deputy chairman Mohamad Hasan was denied entry to the Lendu nomination centre in Alor Gajah today. He was accompanied by BN candidate Datuk Abu Hakim Abdul Wahid. A witness reported that Mohamad inquired why he was forbidden from entering despite possessing an EC pass issued by the Election Commission. The official explained that only the candidate, proposer, and seconder were permitted inside, and Mohamad's presence would exceed the allowed number of accompanying individuals.

Mohamad, also Umno deputy president, decided to leave the scene after a brief verbal exchange with the EC official. The nomination process proceeded, with Abu Hakim set to contest the Lendu seat against Perikatan Nasional candidate Nazri Ramli of Bersatu.
