KOTA KINABALU: Deputy Rural Development Minister Tan Sri Joseph Kurup has lost his Pensiangan parliament seat in an election petition case.

Kurup has asked his lawyers to file a stay of execution pending an appeal later.

High Court judge Justice David Wong Dak Wah sitting as Election Court judge ruled that Returning Officer Bubudan OT Majalu had no right to overturn a directive of the Election Commission that PKR candidate Danny Andipai’s nomination papers be accepted after the filing of 10am on the Feb 24 nomination day.

The judge also ruled that the objections against Andipai’s nomination forms were invalid on the grounds that they were not signed and improper forms were used.

Kurup was not in court and his lawyer said he would be consulting his client on whether to appeal.

Lawyer Ansari Abdullah who represented Andipai said that the judgment was “water tight†and saw little grounds for appeal but they were prepared.

Ansari, the Sabah PKR chief, said the the ruling meant “one down, 29 more to go†in referring to the 30 seats required by Pakatan Rakyat leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for him to keep his promise of bringing down the Barisan Nasional government on Sept 16, which is also Malaysia Day.

sebab2 pembatalan:

Calon KeADILan, Danny Anthony Andipai 9 April lepas memfailkan petisyen tersebut dan mahukan mahkamah membatalkan kemenangan calon BN, Joseph Kurup.

Kurup dinamakan sebagai responden pertama, manakala responden kedua ialah Pegawai Pengurus SPR, Bubudan OT Majalu.

Ketika penamaan calon, Kurup diistiharkan menang tanpa bertanding kerana Anthony dikatakan mengemukakan borang pencalonannya selepas waktu yang ditetapkan.

Tetapi dalam petisyen itu, Anthony berkata dia sampai daslam waktu yang ditetapkan, tetapi Bubudan sibuk menghabiskan masa melayan calon lain menyebabkan dia tidak berpeluang mengemukakan borang sehinggalah pencalonan ditutup pada 9.55 pagi.

Danny juga mendakwa Pegawai Pengurus Pilihanraya itu merancang menggunakan hanya satu kaunter penerimaan kertas pencalonan bagi ketiga-tiga kawasan itu bagi mengelakkan penyerahan kertas pencalonan calon-calon lain supaya Kurup menang tanpa bertanding.Oleh itu dia mahukan mahkamah mengistiharkan kemenangan Kurup sebagai tidak sah dan batal kerana Bubudan tidak menurut prinsip yang digariskan di bawah peruntukan (perilaku Pilihan raya) pilihan raya 1981.

Petisyen yang sama juga dikemukakan calon bebas Saineh Usau.

Terdahulu Kurup dan Bubudan memfailkan notis bantahan dengan menyatakan bahawa petisyen yang dibuat Anthony tidak mengikut undang-undang yang spesifik.

Hakim Mahkamah Tinggi yang bersidang sebagai Hakim Pilihanraya, David Wang bagaimanapun menolak bantahan oleh calon BN dan menetapkan tarikh bicara pada 10 Julai.

Kurup diwakili Alex Daceana dan Wilson Thai. Manakala Anthony diwakili Ansari Abdullah, Chaw Chin Tang dan Erviana Ansari.

Ansari ketika ditemui di luar mahkamah berkata ia adalah kemenangan pusingan pertama bagi KeADILan dan yakin akan memenangi perbicaraan penuh.

“Kami akan mengemukakan sepuluh saksi,†kata beliau.
