PKR to hold four rallies next month over electoral reforms, says Johari Abdul


(The Star) – PKR is adamant about continuing its rallies to protest the results of the May 5 general election despite last Saturday’s being the last.

Chief organizer and PKR supreme council member Datuk Johari Abdul told a press conference on Wednesday that four more rallies had been planned for next month.

Johari listed three “electoral reform” demands, including the resignation of Election Commission members, for the Government to meet before it ceased with the rallies.

“We want a new panel of members that is agreed to by Pakatan Rakyat and the civil societies,” he said.

Johari, who is Sungai Petani MP, said the party would seek a by-election in 30 seats where cheating is alleged to have taken place as well as the postponement of the election law amendment and the re-delineation exercise.

“We will continue having these rallies every week if the Government does not heed our demands,” he said.

Asked why PKR had not “moved on”, Johari said the party will not move forward until the matter has been fully addressed by the Government.

He challenged the critics to join the rallies and “witness the multitude of people who are also demanding the same thing”.
