Api Api election petition dismissed
KOTA KINABALU: The Election Court here on Monday dismissed with costs, a petition challenging the election of Barisan Nasional’s Datuk Dr Yee Moh Chai as the Api Api state assemblyman in the March 8 general election.
Dr Yee, the Parti Bersatu Sabah deputy president and state Resource Development Minister, won the seat with 174-vote majority against Parti Keadilan Rakyat’s Christina Liew.
The petition was filed by Api Api voter Audrey Karen Barry, who claimed that there were elements of corrupt practice or general intimidation by Dr Yee or his agents, including printing and distributing pamphlets containing false and inflammatory statements.
