KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 30 — The Melaka High Court has set February 7 and 11 to hear preliminary objections by Election Commission and two others against an election petition filed by Barisan Nasional candidate for the Sungai Udang state seat, Datuk Seri Mohamad Ali Mohamad who lost in the recent Melaka state election.
Senior federal counsel S. Narkunavaty who represented EC and the returning officer said the dates were fixed by Seremban High Court Judge Datuk Azman Abdullah during case management. Judge Azman was appointed to preside the petition. He named Dr Mohd Aleef who won with a majority of 530 votes in the four-cornered fight, the returning officer for the state seat during the election and the EC as the first to third respondents.
Mohamad Ali said Dr Mohd Aleef had never been elected as an assemblyman before, or ever contested in any election in the area, and had to rely on Tanah Merah MP Datuk Seri Ikmal Hisham Abdul Aziz to introduce himself to voters.
