Election petition: Rafidah to know her fate on July 4
By CHAN LI LEEN
IPOH: The High Court here will decide on July 4 whether to hear an election petition challenging the results for the Kuala Kangsar parliamentary constituency.
A dissatisfied voter has named Umno Wanita chief Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz as the first respondent in the petition after she failed to sign two out of three sets of her nomination papers in the March 8 general election.
Returning officer Mohd Ghazali Jalal and the Election Commission have also been named as the second and third respondents respectively in the petition filed by businessman Ahmad Jamaluddin Abd Majid.
Rafidah had contested against Perak PAS deputy commissioner Dr Khairuddin Abd Malik for the seat.
Election Judge Zakaria Sam, who is also presiding over a separate election petition, will similarly decide on the same day whether or not to hear an election petition seeking to declare results of the Kubu Gajah state seat null and void. PAS candidate Mohd Nazri Din, claiming corruption and illegal practice by Barisan Nasional, had filed the petition.
He lost by 66 votes to Datuk Seri Raja Ahmad Zainuddin Raja Omar.
