PETALING JAYA: The Election Commission (EC) has banned Datuk C. Sivarraajh (pic) from becoming a candidate or voter in any election for the next five years. As such, the MIC vice-president will not be able to run in the coming Cameron Highlands by-election. Announcing this, EC chairman Azhar Azizan Harun said the decision was made after a careful study of the Election Court's decision on Nov 30. Azhar Azizan said that the EC took all necessary steps in accordance with the Act and existing election regulations in its decision. He garnered 10,307 votes, beating DAP's Manogaran who got 9,710 votes, Wan Mahadir Wan Mahmud (PAS, 3,587 votes), Mohd Tahir Kassim (Berjasa, 81 votes), and B. Suresh Kumar (PSM, 680 votes).
