Bid to stop GE15 no challenge against Agong: Santiago
KUALA LUMPUR – Incumbent Klang MP Charles Santiago said his originating summons to stop the 15th general election (GE15) is not against the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong, but against caretaker prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s request to dissolve Parliament.
“We are challenging the advice given to his majesty by Ismail Sabri, which is void under the circumstances.
“(His) request for the dissolution (was) done without cabinet support,” Santiago said in a statement today.
He was responding to the filing of an application yesterday by the caretaker prime minister, government, and Election Commission to strike out his originating summons.
