All PAS members have been urged to attend the Blackout505 rally this June 22 in Padang Merbok, Kuala Lumpur to press for the resignation of Election Commission members following its controversial management of the May 5 general election.
PAS vice president Husam Musa reminded that it was the decision by the Islamic party's central leadership to participate in the rally.
“Our intention is to put an end to electoral fraud and those who are involved in the fraud must take responsibility,” said Husam.
The Kelantan state assemblyman said while PAS accepted its recent losses, it would not allow frauds documented in the recent elections to continue.
“PAS accepts defeat but we can never accept lies and wrongdoings. They are two different things,” he said.
Husam urged all Pakatan Rakyat parties to continue to speak out against electoral frauds.
The series of Blackout rallies was launched two days after the general election and saw more than 100,000 gathering in Petaling Jaya on May 8.
The protest rally soon took a life of its own, travelling nationwide with a message to EC's leadership to quit.
Husam said any failure to end wrongdoings this time would mean the same fraud being repeated in the next elections.
“If EC chief does not resign, then (Prime Minister) Najib (Razak) must resign.
"Better if they both resign," he quipped. -HD
