PUTRAJAYA, Feb 2 — The Election Commission (EC) will meet tomorrow to determine the status of two Perak assemblymen, Capt (R) Mohd Osman Jailu and Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi, who were reported to have vacated their seats.
EC Chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof said the meeting would discuss various aspects including the legal perspective since there were obvious contradictions of facts to the extent of creating confusion.
“I have not received the resignation letters mentioned because the office is closed for the holiday but I have contacted Perak EC Director Ahmad Adli Abdullah who informs me that he has received the resignation letters of the two assemblymen and also letters denying their resignation,” he told Bernama here today.
Yesterday, Perak State Legislative Assembly Speaker V Sivakumar said in a statement that he received resignation letters from Jamaluddin who is Behrang Assemblyman and Osman of Changkat Jering at his house at 5.45pm and would declare the seats vacant. The two assemblymen from Parti Keadilan Rakyat however later denied vacating their seats and called Sivakumar’s statement a lie. — Bernama
