The gathering is the latest in the nationwide series to highlight alleged irregularities and fraud in the 13th general election concluded on May 5, as well as to pressure for the resignation of the two top Election Commission (EC) officials.
Kuala Lumpur City Hall has already said that Padang Merbok is off limits to Pakatan, as the field has been ‘booked’ for a run organised by the Olympic Council of Malaysia on Sunday, and the organiser will have to make preparations on Saturday.
Despite this, as well as pressure from the authorities to hold the rally in a stadium, Pakatan has refused to budge from its decision.
Deputy police chief Bakri Zinin has warned of action against the rally participants.
PKR vice-president Tian Chua has said the ‘Black 505' rallies, which kicked off on May 8, will continue to be held nationwide until the EC officials resign.
