Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang.

PUTRAJAYA: Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang (pic) will remain as Marang MP after the Federal Court here dismissed an appeal by Barisan Nasional candidate Jasmira Othman to nullify the PAS president's victory for the parliamentary seat in the15th General Election.

A three-member bench comprising Court of Appeal president Tan Sri Abang Iskandar Abang Hashim and Federal Court judges Datuk Zabariah Mohd Yusof and Datuk Rhodzariah Bujang held that Jasmira failed to prove his petition beyond reasonable doubt.
