PETALING JAYA: An election court in Terengganu has issued an arrest warrant for state executive councillor Mohd Nor Hamzah after the PAS man did not show up for court proceedings.
According to Berita Harian, Mohd Nor was supposed to testify before the court over a petition to challenge the results of the election for the Marang parliamentary seat.
The warrant was issued by Justice Hassan Abdul Ghani after the petitioner’s lawyer, Amin Othman, requested for the Bukit Payong assemblyman’s arrest.
During proceedings on Tuesday, Hassan had instructed Mohd Nor to come to court today to resume giving his testimony.
The hearing will resume on Sunday.
On Feb 12, the court dismissed a preliminary objection by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang to a Barisan Nasional candidate’s petition to challenge the Marang MP’s victory in the 15th general election (GE15).
Hassan had ordered the petition by Jasmira Othman to go for a full trial. The court set March 6 to 21 for the full hearing.
Terengganu Umno chief Ahmad Said previously said the party had filed three election petitions to challenge Perikatan Nasional’s victories in Marang, Kuala Terengganu and Kemaman.
Umno alleged that there was vote-buying during the campaign period, and that most households in the constituencies received RM500 to RM1,000 each.
