: The High Court here today rejected the interim injunction application by former Nenggiri assemblyman Mohd Azizi Abu Naim to stop the Election Commission from conducting the by-election for the state seat in Kelantan.
“With today’s decision, the EC can proceed with preparations for the by-election. The full injunction application will be heard on August 28 at 2.30 pm,“ the lawyer told reporters after the hearing of the interim injunction application. Meanwhile, Senior Federal Counsel Ahmad Hanir Hambaly, representing the EC and Mohd Amar, said the court stated that an interim injunction could not be granted to prevent the EC from carrying out its duties according to the Federal Constitution.
In the originating summons filed on June 24, Mohd Azizi, who is also Gua Musang MP, sought a declaration that the by-election for the Nenggiri state seat could not be held or conducted by the EC as the seat was still held by the plaintiff.
