Kajang by elections: Game over for Anwar in Kajang


PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s hopes of becoming Selangor Mentri Besar are over. His conviction for sodomy means he cannot stand as a candidate in the Kajang by-election.

While Election Commission chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof said that he would study the issue of Anwar’s candidacy on Monday, other lawyers, including Anwar’s, acknowledge that he is disqualified from contesting.
