EC: Election petition is a right

HULU SELANGOR: Anyone involved in the Kuala Kubu Baharu (KKB) by-election is free to file an election petition, said the Election Commission (EC) after Perikatan Nasional announced that it would challenge the poll’s results should its rival Pakatan Harapan win.

“It’s up to the parties themselves. The EC will accept the petition and facilitate the legal process,” EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Ghani Salleh told reporters here yesterday.
