RESIGN? THEY SHOULD BE SACKED! EC challenged in record 60 seats

RESIGN? THEY SHOULD BE SACKED! EC challenged in record 60 seats
Deadline for submitting election petition to challenge election results in the recent polls ended yesterday, with a record 60 petitions filed by both sides of the political divide.
While election petitions have traditionally been filed by the opposition, this time 21 of these petitions came from Barisan Nasional, protesting the results announced by the Election Commission.
Pakatan Rakyat's 39 petitions involved 25 parliamentary constituencies and 14 state seats, while BN is disputing six parliamentary seats and 15 state seats.
In Kedah, the Merbok and Kulim Bandar Baru parliamentary seats are part of the petitions filed by PKR, while in Kelantan, the parliamentary seats and parties involved are Ketereh (PAS), Machang (PKR) and Bachok (BN). Three state seats are Kok Lanas (PAS), Selinsing (PAS), Ayer Lanas (PAS), Jelawat (BN), Mengkebang (BN), Gaal (BN) and Manek Urai (BN).
No petition was filed over parliamentary seats in Terengganu, but both BN and PAS are each disputing two state seats. Similarly in Pahang, only DAP filed election petition over the Cameron Highlands state seat.
Penang saw one election result - in the Balik Pulau parliament seat - which was wrested back by BN, being disputed by PKR.
In Perak, the parliamentary seats involved are Tapah and Bagan Datok, while state seats are Selama, Rungkup, Manong, Pasir Panjang, Manjoi and Lubok Merbau.
In Selangor, only parliamentary constituencies saw petitions filed: Sabak Bernam, Sungai Besar and Kuala Selangor.
In the Federal Territory, the seats and petitioners involved are Setiawangsa (PKR), Titiwangsa (PAS), Lembah Pantai (BN) and Batu (BN).
In Melaka, election results in two state seats are disputed by BN.
In Johor, election petitions have been filed for Pulai (PAS), Segamat (PKR), Ledang (PKR), Muar (PKR), Tebrau (PKR), Pasir Gudang (PKR), Labis (DAP) and Batu Pahat (BN) parliamentary seats. State seats involved are Gambir (PAS), Mahkota (PAS), Nusajaya (PAS), Penggaram (BN), Parit Yani (BN), Stulang (BN) and Puteri Wangsa (BN).
In Sabah, PKR filed petitions for the parliamentary seats of Kota Marudu, Beaufort and Pensiangan, while in Sarawak, PKR and BN filed in Baram and Sarikei respectively.
Bribery, washable 'indelible' ink on voters, ballot counting errors and allegations of foreigners being allowed to vote are among complaints which are at the heart of the election petitions. Hundreds of thousands of people have attended rallies to protest what they called the 'stolen election', with a major rally planned on June 22 in Kuala Lumpur to press for removal of EC office-holders.
