No quick legal fix for Peter Anthony


KOTA KINABALU: Datuk Peter Anthony (pic), whose nomination to contest the Tenom seat was rejected on Saturday by the returning officer, has no quick legal fix to get back into the race, says a lawyer familiar with election laws.

Sabah Law Society (SLS) president Roger Chin said the Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat (KDM) president’s only option is to file an election petition after the official results are gazetted.
