PUTRAJAYA: The Election Commis­sion can now proceed with its redelineation exercise, thanks to a reversal order given by the Court of Appeal. On Dec 7, the High Court threw out the judicial review application filed by the Selangor Government to challenge the EC’s proposed redeli­neation exercise in the state. The stay effectively paused the EC’s redelineation exercise in Penin­sular Malaysia, as it was expected to produce a single complete redelineation report representing all states. Speaking to reporters after the decision, Selangor state executive councillor Elizabeth Wong said it was unfortunate that the stay was lifted, as it meant the state government’s bid to declare the EC’s redelineation exercise unconstitutional could be rendered moot. She said the fact that the decision was not unanimous suggested there could be some merit to their appeal.
