The Pasir Mas Hulu by-election was a parliamentary by-election that was held on 19 August 1967 in the state of Kelantan, Malaysia. The Pasir Mas Hulu seat fell vacant following its PMIP MP Abdul Samad Gul Ahmad Mianji being axed to death on 3 July 1967.[1][2] He won the seat in 1964 Malaysian general election with a majority of 4,361 votes.[3]
Tengku Zaid Tengku Ahmad of PMIP, retained the seat, defeating Hussein Ahmad of Alliance with a reduced majority of 2,802 votes.[4]
Initially, UMNO indicate the party may not contest the by-election due to the unpleasant and tragic death of the incumbent.[5]
