Parti Keadilan Rakyat (Keadilan) will hear and document grouses from those who were unable to cast their ballots in the recently concluded general election.

Calling it the 'people's tribunal', vice-president Mohd Azmin Ali said the nationwide exercise will kick off in Selangor at his office in Desa Melawati at 4.30pm tomorrow.

"Keadilan would like to call upon whoever that has been denied the right to vote to come forward. We want to know what happened and we will also engage in a dialogue with them," he said when contacted

The second session will be held in Ipoh, Perak on Sunday while dates for the other states have yet to be decided.

Bring evidence

Mohd Azmin also called on the voters to bring along evidence such as voting slips. "We expect to compile their complaints and submit it to the relevant authorities within two weeks," he said.

The Keadilan leader expects an overwhelming response for the 'tribunal' especially in Selangor , where there were many complaints on polling day, prompting the Election Commission (EC) to extend voting hours.

Due to the many election problems all over the country, Keadilan and PAS have rejected the outcome of the polls while concerned groups called for its nullification.

Following this, EC chairperson Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman came under fire from all quarters and he subsequently suggested that an independent probe be carried out.

The opposition has also called for a royal commission to be set up to probe the irregularities in the 11 th general election, which saw the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) sweeping to victory. Keadilan only managed to retain one of the five parliamentary seats it won in 1999 while its ally PAS dropped from 26 parliamentary seats in 1999 to just 7.
