Zaid Ibrahim says the post of political secretary is a demotion for Shamsul Iskandar Md Akin, whose sacrifice ensured that Anwar Ibrahim could realise his prime ministerial ambitions.

Shamsul Iskandar Md Akin's account of how he was prevented by his party chief from contesting his narrow defeat to Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi seems to hit a raw nerve in the Umno leadership.

The admission by PM's political secretary Shamsul Iskandar Md Akin is set to raise more questions on the events leading to the PKR leader's appointment to the top post.

Lawyers for Liberty also reminds the PH coalition of how they opposed a sedition charge against Karpal Singh for questioning the Perak sultan on a similar issue.

Anwar Ibrahim's rule is subject to his mandate.

The election petition was filed by Barisan Nasional's Abdul Hakim Abdul Wahid, seeking to nullify Mas Ermieyati Samsudin's GE15 win.

Jasmira Othman's lawyer says the notice of appeal was filed on June 28.

The Terengganu Election Court says BN's Jasmira Othman failed to prove elements of corruption in the petition against him.

It rules that BN candidate Mohd Zubir Embong succeeded in proving that corruption had taken place with the aim of influencing voters in GE15.

Law minister Azalina Othman Said says the anti-graft agency was only able to uncover general information.

Jeniri Amir describes it as a foolish move.

The judge rules that no corrupt practices were proven on the part of Radzi Jidin or his agents.
