Political analysts advise against Perikatan’s potential court petition over KKB by-election results

Umno sec-gen says KKB poll shows Malays now basing vote on performance and stability, but party will still push Bumi agendaWhile it is a democratic right for Perikatan Nasional to file a suit in the Election Court over alleged vote-buying by Pakatan Harapan in the recently concluded Kuala Kubu Baru by-election, analysts view that the coalition should not carry on with it.

“But Umno should not have filed the court petition because the majority gained by PAS in the state election was a huge margin .In the straight fight against Barisan Nasional-Umno candidate Gen Tan Sri Raja Mohamed Affandi Raja Mohamed Noor, Terengganu Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar won the Kemaman by-election with a 37,220 majority.

Last Monday, PAS secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan warned that PN would file an election petition to court if PH wins the Kuala Kubu Baru by-election. — Picture by Shafwan Zaidon On Tuesday, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission said it has not received any complaint against Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor King who is accused of fishing for votes in the Kuala Kubu Baru by-election.

“I would like to think that PN should go ahead and file the petition to hold them accountable to their words, but I honestly don’t think they would do so because another round of elections would be costly for them as well and it doesn’t appear they could win in Kuala Kubu Baru,” she said when contacted.

“As a democratic country, PN is free to pursue the suit. However, as the EC mentioned, if there are no bribery and misused govt assets, it would be useless to continue,” Suffian said.
