KUALA LUMPUR, 13 May: The election fraud and irregularities investigation team, #Siasat PRU-13, today said that they will concentrate on the electoral process in about 27 parliamentary areas.
The leader of the team, Rafizi Ramli said that the focus on those areas is targeted because it fulfils the four criteria where fraud allegedly occurred in the 13the General Election (GE-13).
The four criteria would be the result of the under five percent slim majority, spoiled ballots overcoming the slim majority, the percentage as well as the postal and early votes overcoming the majority from ordinary voters.
The team of 67 volunteers will also be paying attention to seats where there have been police reports from the voters regarding election fraud.
“This criterion is used to determine the Parliamentary and constituency seats which will be investigated in more detail,” said Rafizi in a press conference here at the PKR headquarters this morning.
The Parliamentary seats are; Bentong, Kuala Selangor, Baram, Sungai Besar, Pasir Gudang, Labis, Machang, Ketereh, Titiwangsa, Tebrau, Bagan Serai, Kota Marudu, Beaufort, Setiawangsa dn Segamat.
Other seats which will also be focused on are; Ledang, Balik Pulau, Kulim Bandar Bahru, Pulai, Kuala Kangsar, Muar, Pendang, Hulu Selangor, Sabak Bernam, Merbok, Pensiangan and Saratok.
“Siasat PRU-13 will also reveal evidence gathered a week from now, after witnesses are called to testify further,” said Rafizi who is also the Pandan MP.
While admitting that this investigation is a heavy responsibility, Rafizi said his team will also study every video and photo showing the acts of electoral irregularities and fraud to track down the individuals involved.
Previously, PKR announced the establishment of its investigative team with the cooperation of PAS and DAP as there have been various allegations of irregularities and fraud which occurred during the election period.
The findings will also be used as evidence while filing the petition within 21 days after the EC gazettes the GE-13 results which is expected to take place this week.
