Melaka High Court allows judicial review of EC's redelineation exercise
: The Melaka High Court has granted leave for a judicial review of the Election Commission's (EC) redelineation exercise.
According to information provided to the media, this case was filed by seven voters in Melaka to challenge the final redelineation report that was passed by Parliament and gazetted last month.
Justice Siti Khadijah ruled that there was prima facie evidence to show that there was malapportionment and gerrymandering, which contravened the Federal Constitution.
However, the judge did not grant a stay against the using of the new map in GE14.
The EC has set the GE14 polling day on May 9, nomination date on April 28, while the date for the early polling is May 5.
