The meeting was attended by main party leaders to discuss the issue related to the Kimanis by-election following the Federal Court’s decision to uphold the Election Court’s decision that declared the election results for the constituency, which was won by former Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman, null and void.
A media statement issued on Wednesday stated that the decision is based on the Rantau election petition case which has decided that the party contesting in the 14th General Election is given the opportunity to contest, the same goes for by-election cases which give mandate to the contesting party to re-elect a candidate from the party.
“Pakatan Harapan Sabah component parties will support and ensure the victory of the candidate decided by Warisan. Component parties’ machineries will be activated and mobilised to assist the candidate in the by-election,” it read.Stay up-to-date by following Daily Express’s Telegram channel.
