BN's Ahmad Hamzah remains Jasin MP, Federal Court rules

PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Ahmad Hamzah (pic) of Barisan Nasional remains as Jasin MP after the Federal Court here dismissed an appeal by his opponent Datuk Seri Khairuddin Abu Hassan.

In the unanimous decision by a five-man bench, Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat said that while the apex court agreed there were some instances of non-compliance, the appellant had failed to prove that such non-compliance had affected the outcome of the polls for the seat in the 14th General Election.
