Election Commission (EC) deputy chairperson Wan Ahmad Wan Omar has denied allegation that a ballot box for Putrajaya parliamentary was left behind.

NONE He said this was not possible since the counting and tally of votes were witnessed by foreign observers and agents of political parties.

"Too many untrue stories were spread via the social media. The vote tally process went on smoothly. Why make up stories?” he told a press conference at EC headquarters in Putrajaya..

In addition, he also denied that vote counting agents in Lembah Pantai were driven away by the presiding officer after a polling station was closed.

Wan Ahmad said such allegation was only intended to slander and tarnish the EC’s image.
