Klang MP Santiago's suit to stop GE15 now academic, High Court told


KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has been told that the lawsuit filed by incumbent Klang MP Charles Santiago to challenge the 14th Parliament's dissolution has been rendered academic following the Election Commission's (EC) announcement that Nov 19 will be the 15th General Election (GE15) polling date.

Lawyer Tan Sri Zulkefli Ahmad Makinudin, who represented the defendants in Santiago's lawsuit, said this to Justice Ahmad Kamal Md Shahid in the middle of a hearing of an application filed by caretaker Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob to strike out Santiago's lawsuit here on Thursday (Oct 20).
