00:00 The 15th General Election (GE15) result for the Kuamusang Parliamentary seat, which was
00:06 won by Perikatan Nasional's Mohd Azizi Abu Naim, stands after Barisan National candidate
00:12 Tansri Tengku Razali Hamzah's representative Mohd Azmi Mahmud failed to reinstate his election
00:19 petition to challenge the election results for that constituency.
00:24 A federal court three-person panel of judges led by Court of Appeal President Abang Iskandar
00:30 Abang Hashim struck out Mohd Azmi's appeal and ordered him to pay RM30,000 in costs.
00:38 The two other judges on the panel were federal court judges Rozaria Bujang and Abu Bakar
00:44 Jais.
00:46 In delivering the court's unanimous decision, Justice Abang Iskandar said there was merit
00:52 in the preliminary objection raised by Mohd Azizi's lawyer Yusfariza Yusuf.
00:59 Mohd Azmi was appealing against the High Court decision on September 5th this year which
01:04 struck out his election petition after he fired his team of lawyers.
01:09 Mohd Azmi filed the petition on behalf of Tengku Razali to nullify the Kuamusang election
01:15 result for the Kuamusang parliamentary seat based on among others, allegations of bribery.
01:22 Tengku Razali lost to Mohd Azizi by just 163 votes.
01:28 Mohd Azizi secured 21,826 votes while Tengku Razali had garnered 21,663 votes.
01:39 Yusfariza raised a preliminary objection saying that Mohd Azmi's appeal was incompetent as
01:46 he had used the wrong procedure in his attempt to set aside the High Court's decision.
01:52 He said Mohd Azmi should go back to the High Court to file an application to reinstate
01:57 his election petition and not file an appeal to the federal court.
02:02 Mohd Azmi's lawyer, Datuk Mohd Zubairi Hussein said his client should be allowed to appeal
02:08 against the High Court's decision.
02:11 He claimed that his client is appealing with regard to the non-compliance of procedure
02:16 by the High Court judge in striking out the election petition.
02:20 The court ruled that the defendant, Mohd Azmi, is guilty of non-compliance with the
02:25 High Court's decision.
02:26 The court ruled that the defendant, Mohd Azmi, is guilty of non-compliance with the
