Batu Lintang assemblyman See Chee How - File pix
KUCHING: The outcome of the judicial review filed by Sarawak PKR against the Election Commission (EC) over redelineation procedures could impact the state polls.
Political pundits will have their eyes trained on the Kuching High Court on Thursday when the next mention is scheduled.
Batu Lintang assemblyman See Chee How, who is state vice-chairman of the Opposition party is leading the case.
He claims the EC's redelineation exercise so far has been flawed, lacking enough details that will affect voters.
Legal experts in Bersih 2.0 opined the judicial review could take up to two months to complete.
If See is successful, the EC could be compelled to return to step one of the process, which had begun on Jan 5.
That would set back the timetable of the current redelineation exercise, which even in the best-case scenario, may only be completed mid year at the earliest.
The Sarawak Legislative Assembly presently has 71 elected members.
