SANDAKAN: PKR's defeated candidate Ansari Abdullah said today that the opposition fought an uneven battle in the Batu Sapi parliamentary by-election.
Ansari, 56, a lawyer, said that while the Barisan Nasional (BN) victory was not a surprise, the win was based on lies.
“The ruling coalition retained its seat because it bought the people’s votes. We have proof and will be uploading them onYouTube,” he said shortly after the official results were announced by Election Commission returning officer Mohamad Awang Supain at the Sandakan community hall.
He said PKR has handed over the evidence to the police and Election Commission, but so far, no action had been taken.
A tired and emotional Ansari snapped when a reporter asked him whether he was satisfied with the results.
“Do not be crazy. Do not ask me this question,” he said.
He said that PKR had predicted that it would not stand a chance against the BN, but added: “We did say we will not finish third.”
