The “Black505” rallies to protest against alleged electoral fraud
during Election 2013 will continue next month and be held every week
until all PKR’s demands are met, the party said today.
This comes even as Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders and analysts
criticised the rallies and called for Pakatan Rakyat (PR) to accept the
results and move on towards nation building efforts instead.
“There is no such thing as nation building if the nation is built on
fraud and cheating,” PKR strategy director Rafizi Ramli told reporters
here.
PKR’s Datuk Johari Abdul also explained that top of their list of
demands was for all Election Commission (EC) members to quit for their
purported failure in ensuring a transparent election.
A new set of EC members should be appointed, but only after consultations together with PR and civil societies, he said.
The rallies are also to call for fresh elections in all 30 parliamentary seats where results were disputed.
In addition, any amendments to election laws and redelineation of
constituencies must only be carried out after the new EC members have
been elected.
PKR announced today that four “Black505” rallies will be held next month in Perlis, Sungai Petani, Kota Baru and Batu Pahat.
