When will the Election Court rule on the Gaal state seat petition?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Election Court will rule on the Gaal state seat election petition on Thursday.

The Election Court in Kota Bharu has scheduled its ruling on the election petition concerning the Gaal state seat for Thursday. This decision was postponed to accommodate the submission of further documentation by PAS. The petition, initially slated for a hearing on an earlier date, experienced a delay due to PAS filing a second preliminary objection.
Ruling Scheduled for Thursday

Presiding election judge Datuk Zamani Abdul Rahim announced that the court's ruling on the Gaal state seat election petition will be made on Thursday. This date was set to allow PAS sufficient time to submit a written response concerning its second preliminary objection against the petition.
PAS Filed Second Preliminary Objection

The hearing for the petition was deferred because PAS, the first respondent and the current assemblyman for Gaal, Tuan Mazlan Tuan Mat, submitted a second preliminary objection. This objection was lodged prior to the commencement of the petition proceedings. PAS' lawyer, Hisham Fauzi, indicated that the objection was filed for a second time due to the emergence of several new issues.
Parties Involved in Proceedings

Following the preliminary objection, Tuan Mazlan was permitted to file a written submission against the petition. The petitioner, Redzua Stapha, who was the Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate, along with the second respondent (Gaal returning officer) and the third respondent (the Election Commission), are required to provide their responses to this written submission on the day following the initial filing. BN is represented by lawyer Mohd Ilias Mohd Noor, while the second and third respondents are represented by senior federal counsel Azizan Md Arshad.
