With Election Commission (EC) chairperson Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof close to retiring, electoral reform movment Bersih 2.0 wants a successor who will not repeat the previous mistakes.

Bersih 2.0 chief Maria Chin Abdullah said the watchdog is not satisfied with Abdul Aziz's performance and hence, it just cannot wait for his departure from the EC.

"In short, we don't want the EC to repeat what it has been doing all this while, such as when violence occurs during elections, (there is) biased monitoring or persecution of certain political parties only," Maria said.
