PETALING JAYA: Rafizi Ramli today said a PKR election official arrested recently over allegations of cheating in party polls was a staunch supporter of his rival Mohamed Azmin Ali, with whom he has been locked in an intense battle for the deputy president’s post.
Rafizi said this in the wake of the PKR election committee’s announcement that it would not hold fresh elections for the Julau division in Sarawak. The polls in the division were marred by allegations of tampering of the devices used for the e-voting process.
He said the man, who headed the election committee’s IT team, was trying to delete the “Prey” app from several tablets in Julau.
“There is a video clearly showing him moving from one tablet to another to erase the app before being apprehended. There is also video evidence which shows his phone containing the app.
“All this evidence has been handed over to the police for investigations,” said Rafizi.
He accused the committtee of negligence in allowing the “Prey” app to be installed on the tablets, and questioned its stand that the incident did not affect the integrity of the election data.
“This statement contradicts 100% the earlier statement by the JPP,” said Rafizi, referring to the election committee.
He said the JPP failed to explain issues such as the increase of PKR members in Julau, despite the facts being agreed upon by the party’s top leaders.
He said Azmin was responsible for bringing Julau MP Larry Sng into the party.
He said the membership committee, led by another of Azmin’s allies, Xavier Jayakumar, checked and approved all applications including those from Julau, and that the JPP had checked and approved one-third of these.
“This is why I feel the JPP’s decision today against fresh polls for Julau is unfair to me and other party members.
“The JPP cannot wash their hands of this and must resolve the issue immediately.” - FMT
