The Jawatankuasa Pemilihan Pusat (JPP) has been given the task of supervising the conduct of the internal Keadilan elections at the division and national level.
This task includes dealing not just with complaints and objections raised prior to elections at the division level but also post election complaints.
The JPP will not hesitate to invalidate results at the division level if we are convinced that the election process was compromised or if there were acts of intimidation or violence that distorted the conduct of the elections.
We will also not hesitate to recommend disciplinary action including sacking against party members if we are presented with strong evidence that they had been involved in acts of violence or disrupted the smooth conduct of elections on the ground or engaged in any irregular conduct (e.g. vote-buying).
In coming to our decision we will consider reports from members as well as reports from secretariat staff and party volunteers who have conducted the elections under our supervision.
We urge any member who has concerns about the conduct of the elections at the division level to raise his/her concerns with the JPP in a formal manner so that these concerns can be given the attention they deserve. Individuals dissatisfied with the conduct of the elections should use this channel rather than making allegations in the media against either the JPP or the Keadilan secretariat.
166 divisions have held their annual meeting and elections over the past two weekends and the JPP is pleased to note that in the vast majority of cases division elections have proceeded in a smooth and orderly fashion.
