Election Petition

Posted by Lawyer Harris on 00:07 with No comments
My office was abuzz today when 6 lawyers met to prepare the relevant documents and discuss an Election Petition filed by a candidate who lost by less then a 100 votes. The State Legislative Seat for N09 Tahan was won by Mohd Zakhwan bin Ahmad Badardin from PAS.

The Petitioner is saying that the Election Commission wrongly considered 277 votes as spoil votes when those votes ought to have been accepted in his favor. No allegations are made against the winning party.

We went through the cause paper and notice numerous mistakes and anomalies most of which will be used as our objections.

The Petition is now fixed for management on 03/07/2018 at Temerloh High Court. 10 lawyers have been officially put on record as Solicitors for the Respondent. One of those present even celebrated his birthday at our office.
