Opposition leader Ismail Sabri Yaakob says the opposition will also challenge the Election Commission in court over the issue after the Tanjung Piai by-election. FMTNews IsmailSabri

Opposition leader Ismail Sabri Yaakob says the new rule on door-to-door campaigning and walkabouts was against the law.

“The regulation goes against the Elections Act 1958 and Section 24 of the Election Offences Act 1954,” Ismail told reporters at a press conference at the Parliament lobby. Ismail said door-to-door campaigns were private, not public, and should not require permits. He said this will make campaigning difficult for the candidates.

The opposition had accused the EC of conspiring with the federal government. “It seems the EC is no longer free. It seems the EC is a tool for the federal government.”
