The Manek Urai by-election on July 14 will be a straight fight between Barisan Nasional and PAS.
Only two candidates had filed their papers when nominations closed at 10am Monday.
Barisan Nasional candidate Tuan Aziz Tuan Mat, the 39-year-old Kuala Krai Umno Youth chief, will be going up against Mohd Fauzi Abdullah, the 50-year old PAS treasurer for Kuala Krai and a fish wholesaler by trade.
The by-election is being held following the death of the state assemblyman, Ismail Yaacob of PAS, on May 22.
In the 2008 general election, Ismail, a five-term assemblyman, defeated Barisan candidate Zulkifli Omar with a 1,352 majority votes.
The constituency has 12,293 voters.
It is the seventh by-election being held since the March 8 general election last year.
