PUTRAJAYA: Barisan Nasional's Tan Sri M. Ramasamy has filed an appeal to the Federal Court over the High Court's dismissal of his election petition to challenge the result of the contest for the Segamat parliamentary seat during the 15th General Election (GE15) in November last year.
On April 3, the High Court in Muar, Johor, dismissed Ramasamy’s petition after ruling that there was non-compliance with the requirements of the Election Offences Act and Election Petition Rules.
Yuneswaran won with a majority of 5,669 votes in the four-cornered fight against Ramasamy, Perikatan Nasional’s P. Poobalan and Pejuang’s Syed Hairoul Faizey.In his petition, Ramasamy sought, among others, a declaration that the election for the Segamat seat was void and that Yuneswaran was not duly elected as the Member of Parliament for Segamat.
He said he agreed with Yuneswaran’s counsel’s submission that Ramasamy’s petition lacked material facts that were clear and precise.
