PAS man should face charges over election win, says Bersih

PETALING JAYA: Former MP Ahmad Amzad Hashim of PAS should be charged in court after his election victory in Kuala Terengganu was annulled because of vote-buying, says electoral watchdog Bersih.

The group’s chairman, Thomas Fann, said the court’s decision to nullify Amzad’s win in the 2022 general election showed that corruption had taken place.

“However, the candidate is not being charged for committing the election offence, which means that if he wants to run for the seat again, he can do so.

“Where is the justice then? I say he should be charged because (the offence) was proven,” he said, according to New Straits Times.
