PETALING JAYA: PAS vice-president Mahfuz Omar has likened Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak's win in the recent Hulu Selangor contest to a “school kid passing his exam by cheating”.
In a statement to FMT, the Pokok Sena MP said the ruling coalition should not gloat about such a victory.
Mahfuz said BN's win did not affect Pakatan Rakyat, especially PKR, since its candidate Zaid Ibrahim garnered more votes than the late Zainal Abidin Ahmad in the 2008 general election.
"Even the 'vote-buying' did not have an impact on us,” he said, reiterating an allegation which drew a strong denial from BN.
On Sunday, Zaid lost to BN's P Kamalanathan by 1,725 votes, despite Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin having set a 6,000 vote-majority target.
'With the help of EC'
Mahfuz also alleged that the BN victory came with the aid of the Election Commission, which “transferred hundreds of voters' names out of the electoral roll and relocated 13,000 voters to a different constituency”.
"This is an example of organised fraud,” he said.
The PAS leader said he found it strange that BN leaders attributed the victory to Najib's transformation policies.
"They think he passed the test. But that was like a school kid passing by cheating,” he added.
