Would Zulkifli win the petition?

Anwar Ibrahim has set his eyes on P18 Kulim Bandar-Baharu seat in the event a by-election is called to nullify the March 8 elections results. In that elections, Zulkifli Noordin of PKR beat Abdul Aziz Sheikh Fadzir 22,255 to 16,672.

BN is trying hard to stop PKR de facto leader from getting into Parliament via various methods including the sodomy charges, I wonder whether they are going to misuse the judiciary just as they had done in 1998. It would be easier, in a sense to dismiss the petition UMNO's Aziz Sheikh Fadzir and retain Zulkifli Noordin in that seat.

Zulkifli would win the seat and that would prevent Anwar from becoming a Member of Parliament and even forming the next government, for the time being.

Wait and see
