PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal said courts cannot interfere in the duties and functions of the Election Commission (EC) in redrawing electoral boundaries. Justice Kamardin Hashim said the election commissioners and their subordinate officers were entrusted under the Federal Constitution to complete the delineation exercise within a two year period.

Judicial Review of Delimitation Exercise

Image
The High Court judge should have granted judicial review on the delineation process. It is imperative for a judicial institution such high court to address issues of national importance if there is substance that would make a case for judicial review what more if it involves voters ‘rights in the spirit of 13 schedule of the federal constitution. This was not adhered to in the following case.  The first delineation inquiry was held in Ipoh on 1.11.2016 relating to objection from Ipoh Barat and Ipoh Timur voters on factual accounts of distorted electoral roll which categorically denies voters equitable   representation in State   Assemblies and Parliament   and the manipulation   of boundaries   to   favour   certain   parties.   These   have   basically   violated   the   one   man   one   vote principle that...
