PKR just couldn't proof anything. BN too!
None of the general election petitions filed by both sides has proven what they had claimed as 'vote-buying and vote rigging' thus far. Although more cases are pending legal decision, it looks like the election result will stay.
Latest is the decision by the Kuala Lumpur High Court to struck out PKR petition for Setiawangsa parliamentary constituency in the Federal Territory. It was filed by PKR candidate Ibrahim Yaacob.
The Election Court in Kuala Lumpur yesterday also dismissed petitions by Pakatan Rakyat to challenge the results of two state seats and a parliamentary seat in Kelantan which were won by Barisan Nasional (BN) in the 13th General Election.
They are Air Lanas and Kok Lanas state seats and Ketereh parliamentary seat.
Judge Datuk John Louis O'hara also ordered the petitioners to pay a total of RM200,000 in cost to all the respondents including to Air Lanas assemblyman Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed.
At the same court, O'hara also rejected BN's petitions against two Pas state seats - Mengkebang and Manik Urai and ordered the petitioners to pay RM60,000 in costs.
In his judgment, the judge said he dismissed the petitions because the petitioners among other failed to comply with the provisions under the Election Petition Rules 1954.
In Penang, the court also struck out the petition filed against BN seats Telok Bahang (state) and Balik Pulau (parliament).
Lets wait for more... although its really a waste of time!
