Mohd Azizi's bid to stop Nenggiri by-election is academic, court told


KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court was told that an inter-parte injunction application by former Nenggiri assemblyman Mohd Azizi Abu Naim to stop the Election Commission (EC) from conducting the by-election for the state seat in Kelantan is a non-starter as it has been rendered academic and nugatory.

Senior federal counsel Ahmad Hanir Hambaly, representing the EC, said this on Wednesday (Aug 7) because the EC has instructed the by-election to commence for the seat of Nenggiri.
