Apex court dismisses BN appeal to reinstate Gua Musang election petition, Azizi remains MP


PUTRAJAYA: The 15th General Election (GE15) result for the Gua Musang parliamentary seat, which was won by Perikatan Nasional’s Mohd Azizi Abu Naim, stands after Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate Tan Sri Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah’s representative Mohd Azmi Mahmood failed to reinstate his election petition to challenge the election results for that constituency.

A Federal Court three-person panel of judges led by Court of Appeal president Abang Iskandar Abang Hashim struck out Mohd Azmi’s appeal and ordered him to pay RM30,000 in costs.
