Another two GE14 by-elections?

Feb 18, 2019

We could have as many as two more by-elections in the near future.  

This, after the Federal Court upheld an election court ruling that declared Negeri Sembilan's Rantau state seat vacant. 

Acting UMNO president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan won the seat uncontested in GE14.

However, it was challenged by PKR's Dr S Streram, who claims he was wrongfully barred from filing his nomination papers. 

Meanwhile, the Federal Court also ordered a fresh hearing to determine the status of the Jasin parliamentary seat in Melaka. 

Pakatan Harapan's candidate for Jasin, Datuk Seri Khairuddin Abu Hassan is challenging Barisan Nasional canidate, Datuk Seri Ahmad Hamzah's narrow 219 vote win for the seat. 

Khairuddin claims that there were discrepancies in the electoral process.
