PUTRAJAYA, Jan 22 — Election Commission chairman Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun said he would support letting another agency handle the redrawing of electoral boundaries if this enhances the process. Referring to the Electoral Reform Committee’s proposal last year for a special commission to carry out such exercises, he said he must study the suggestion before committing his support.
“If it is proposed that a separate agency be set up specifically to handle redelineation and can improve it, then I am all for it. “I am all for anything that could make it better,” Azhar said following a courtesy visit by the Parliamentary Special Select Committee to the EC’s headquarters.
