The Federal Court in Kota Kinabalu this morning overturned an Election Court decision on Sept 8 to strip Pensiangan MP Joseph Kurup of the seat and declare it vacant.
Federal Court Judge Nik Hashim Nik Abdul Rahman who delivered the verdict held that Kurup was duly elected to the parliamentary constituency of P182 Pensiangan.
The Federal Court’s decision comes three days before the expiry of a six-month deadline.
