A group of seven voters have withdrawn their suit to seek a court declaration that the Election Commission's (EC) local inquiries were invalid because the voters were not allowed legal representation during the process.

The plaintiff's lawyer Shahid Adli Kamarudin said his clients had decided to do so after scrutinising a court ruling on a similar case brought by Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar and 10 others.

"We have decided not to proceed with the application (for judicial review) after studying the Court of Appeal's decision in the Nurul Izzah case that there is no absolute right for legal representation during local inquiries," he said.
