PKR supremo Anwar Ibrahim today announced that newly-minted Pandan MP Rafizi Ramli will head a team to investigate electoral fraud as Pakatan Rakyat refuses to accept the 13th general election results.
"It is a dictate of our conscience to reject the election results until a reasonable justification is provided by the Election Commission," he said in a press statement today.
Anwar (

"His team will match the proof against an empirical analysis of the specific constituency's result to highlight the constituencies whose result is in dispute," he said.
Anwar adds that the team, along with similar teams from DAP and PAS, will work closely with electoral reform group Bersih's people's tribunal to address this matter.
"In the next few weeks, we will present to the public proof that (Prime Minister) Najib Abdul Razak won this election through frauds and irregularities," he said.
'Electoral reforms not implemented'
The PKR de facto leader also pointed out that the EC had failed to implement Bersih's eight-point demand for electoral reforms.
"In fact, the EC could not even implement a simple use of indelible ink and the chairman fumbled miserably to provide a logical explanation for the failure.
"As of today, we continue to receive information that hundreds of police reports had been lodged around the country for the failure," he said.
There had been widespread reports that the indelible ink could be removed with soap or bleach despite the EC claiming that it non-removable for up to five days.
Anwar also called on Malaysians to wear black as a sign of protest against the alleged fraud in the 13th general election.
"I shall address fellow Malaysians tomorrow at the Kelana Jaya stadium at 8.30pm fully dressed in black.
"This shall be a beginning for a fierce movement to clean this country from election malpractices and fraud, for there is no opportunity for renewal without a clean and fair election," he said.
