Election Commission (EC) deputy chief Wan Ahmad Wan Omar has proven he is partisan to BN by calling opposition MPs "hypocrites" because they intend to take their MP oaths, says PKR Youth.

NONE PKR Youth chief Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin ( left in photo ) said as the EC is required to be non-partisan, Wan Ahmad has proven to be unfit for his post and should resign.

“We have the EC deputy who rightfully should be non-partisan and independent.

"By issuing the comment as he has had, it shows what we have claimed before this is correct, that EC is headed by leaders who side with a particular party," Shamsul said at a press conference in Petaling Jaya today.

"We consider it is wrong for a civil servant to show bias and support for the ruling coalition BN, and Wan Ahmad is not fit to hold the EC leadership that should be independent."

Yesterday, Wan Ahmad criticised Pakatan Rakyat MPs for agreeing to be sworn in as MPs on June 24 despite claiming that the 13th general election was rife with fraud.

However, BN leaders had earlier criticised Pakatan for mulling calls to boycott Parliament, claiming the opposition would be irresponsible to their voters.

Agreeing with PKR, PAS Youth information chief Riduan Mohd Nor said the latter had no right in commenting or criticising any political decision made by any party.

“His professional duty is to merely manage the elections and any matters pertaining to it,” said Riduan in a separate statement today.

“He may not realise that he is still the EC deputy chief and not an Umno division chief.”

According to Riduan, Wan Ahmad’s “cynical tone” only serves as motivation for the rally at Padang Merbok tomorrow.

“Because of his mouth, millions of rallying citizens might just push him and the EC chairperson (Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof) to resign,” he said.

On May 5, numerous voters lodged police reports claiming that the indelible ink the EC put on the index finders of those voting could be easily removed, instead of lasting several days as the EC had claimed.
