Bersih 2.0 chairman says amending Article 46 of the Federal Constitution to add more parliamentary seats will allow the Election Commission to carry out a redelineation exercise before GE15. bersih thomasfann
Bersih’s Thomas Fann says if Parliament amends Article 46 of the Federal Constitution to add more seats to the Dewan Rakyat it would trigger a redelineation exercise.
Speaking at a press conference on Pakatan Harapan’s one year in power, Bersih chairman Thomas Fann said under Article 113 of the Federal Constitution, the next redelineation exercise could only be carried out eight years after the previous exercise. But Fann said if Parliament were to amend Article 46 of the Federal Constitution to add more seats to the Dewan Rakyat, it would trigger a redelineation exercise.
Through the amendment, more seats can be given to Selangor and Terengganu, which, Fann said, were the two most underrepresented states in the Dewan Rakyat.And with the additional seats triggering a redelineation exercise, the Election Commission can fix the malapportionment between constituencies in the states.
