SRC case: Najib’s eligibility to stand in GE15 depends on outcome of Federal Court appeal, say legal experts


PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s eligibility to stand in the next general election would very much depend on his appeal outcome at the Federal Court, according to legal experts.

Senior lawyer Datuk Roger Tan Kor Mee said that the former premier would still have a chance if the Federal Court allowed his appeal to set aside the conviction handed down by the High Court.
