Two opposition MPs say it is better to empower voters than let a few powerful politicians decide on a replacement legislator.
A former election official’s suggestion to do away with by-elections has been dismissed by some MPs.
Wan Ahmad said there would be significant cost savings for the government and political parties should by-elections be rendered unnecessary.However, Khairil said a by-election would allow the voters another chance to make a new selection if they were not satisfied with the performance of the previous MP or assemblyman.
Tasek Gelugor MP Wan Saiful Wan Jan of Bersatu agreed, saying that allowing the incumbent party to unilaterally decide upon the replacement would stifle the voice of the voters.He said empowering voters through by-elections was better than allowing the party to determine replacements independently. “Meanwhile, the voters lose their voice even though they may actually want to express their vote through the ballot,” Wan Saiful said.
