EC reached out to all on review of electoral boundaries - DPM
KUALA LUMPUR, March 28 Mac (Bernama) -- The Election Commission reached out to all stakeholders to participate in its review of electoral boundaries, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
He said that since the commission started the exercise on Sept 15, 2016, various accusations were hurled against the EC and not only that, there were parties who dragged the EC to court.
"The EC provided a platform for all quarters to voice out objections on any of its recommendations which were put on display as required under Section of Schedule 13 of the Federal Constitution.
"Nevertheless, the reality is that the court decisions favoured the EC, proving that the EC had discharged its duties based on the principles stated in the Federal Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, he said when winding up debate on the motion on the review of electoral boundaries in the Dewan Rakyat today.
The motion was earlier tabled by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
