KOTA KINABALU: The Election Court has struck out the election petition by Parti KDM president Datuk Peter Anthony to nullify the results of the Tenom parliamentary seat in GE15.

On Wednesday , Election judge Justice Dean Wayne Daly allowed the notice of application by the first respondent, victorious Independent candidate Riduan Rubin Balang, as well as preliminary objections raised by returning officer for Tenom, Mas Syazwan Masood; Election Commission chairman Tan Sri Ghani Salleh; and the EC to strike out the petition.

In delivering his judgment, the judge found that Peter failed to provide sufficient facts and particulars to support his allegations that there was a breach of election law when his nomination papers were rejected. Peter's counsel Datuk Ansari Abdullah had earlier argued that his client had obtained a stay of conviction from the Sessions Court and as such Article 48 would not apply to him.
