KUALA LUMPUR: Marang Umno division chief Datuk Abdul Rahman Bakar has called on the Election Commission to investigate the registration of phantom voters in the Rhu Rhendang seat in Marang, Terengganu.
Abdul Rahman, who is Marang MP and Deputy Human Resources Minister, claimed that PAS had brought in hundreds of phantom voters.
He said he lodged a report with the Terengganu state EC on Nov 6, when he found 541 additional voters registered in the constituency.
“The Marang Umno division has been monitoring the situation since June – we find the number of phantom voters rising every day,” he told reporters at the Parliament lobby here on Tuesday.
“PAS is bringing in phantom voters because they want to retain the state seat.”
He said the phantom voters were mostly from Selangor, Klang, Petaling Jaya, Kuantan and Penang
