The tribunal will announce its decision on May 24.

PETALING JAYA: A five-member tribunal will rule on May 24 whether it has the jurisdiction to try six former Election Commission members for alleged misconduct in organising the 14th general election.

On April 1, tribunal chairman Steve Shim said the panel would take the necessary steps to deliver its findings after getting a mixed response from Attorney-General Tommy Thomas and lawyers on whether to send its report to the king or make a public announcement. Thirteen charges were framed against Leo, former deputy chairman Othman Mahmood, and ex-members Md Yusop Mansor, Abdul Aziz Khalidin, Sulaiman Narawi and K Bala Singam in connection with their role in preparing the controversial redelineation report and the manner in which the polls were conducted.

However, their lawyers said they should not be tried as the king had approved their applications to shorten their terms.
