KUALA LUMPUR, April 27 —
Both the Election Commission (EC) chairman and deputy chairman have admitted
that they could have been Umno members a long time ago, but stressed that it
did not affect their ability to carry out their professional duties.
Chairman Tan Sri Abdul
Aziz Mohd Yusof and his deputy Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar took great pains to point
out that it (being Umno members) happened a long time ago, and that they were
inactive members, having not paid any fees or attended any party meetings.Abdul Aziz can’t remember when and where he became an Umno member. — Picture by Choo Choy May
“I can’t remember when
and where I once became an Umno member, anyone could have put my name in after
I graduated from university in the 1970s.
“I can’t even remember
which branch (I was an Umno member in) because after I finished my studies I
lived in several areas — Segambut, Selayang and Ampang. So if anyone had named
me (as an Umno member) I don’t know which branch,” Abdul Aziz told Sinar Harian.
Wan Ahmad confirmed that
he was an Umno member, but like Abdul Aziz, he too claimed he could not
remember which Umno branch he was registered in.When asked whether he was still an Umno member, Wan Ahmad said: “I don’t know and have never bothered to find out. I am not a politician, I am a government servant and this has stayed till this day. I am speaking the truth.”
Wan Ahmad stressed that
all government servants were barred from being active members in any political
party, and that they had to relinquish their government posts if they wanted to
do so.
“I am still in service
(as a government) servant) and that it proof that I am not an active (Umno)
member,” he said.
Similarly, Abdul Aziz
said that being an Umno member did not make him biased in any way when it came
to running the EC.
“I’ve never felt tied
down in all my years here (in the EC),” he said.
Both the EC chief and
deputy chief were accused yesterday of being Umno members, with a senior PKR
official alleging that he had evidence of their membership in the ruling party.
The duo have come under
intense scrutiny in the past year over claims of fraud in election practices
and the electoral roll as federal polls draw near.
“I know Aziz’s
membership number and I have information on which branch Tan Sri Aziz and his
deputy are from.
“This is the only EC in
the world where its chief and his deputy are officially members of a party that
contests elections,” Sinar Harian
quoted PKR secretary-general Datuk Saifuddin Nasution as saying.
The Machang MP then
challenged the duo to prove they were not members of the senior party in the
ruling coalition, failing which he would reveal the branches to which he
alleged they belong.
He also told the
Malay-language national daily that Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia, who quit the
Kota Marudu Umno when he was appointed Dewan Rakyat Speaker in 2008, had
informed him that the EC’s top two officers were still party members.
The EC was heavily
criticised in the lead-up to Bersih’s rally for free and fair elections on July
9 last year in which tens of thousands flooded the streets of the capital in
chaotic scenes that saw over 1,500 arrested, scores injured and the death of an
ex-soldier.
Widespread condemnation
of the Najib administration’s clampdown saw Putrajaya make major concessions
including announcing a bipartisan Parliamentary Select Committee to look into
improving the electoral system.
During the committee’s
six-month tenure, Pakatan Rakyat (PR) accused the EC of not being committed to
reforms and eventually rejected the panel’s findings.
Early this month,
Bersih, a coalition of 84 civil societies, also announced a sit-in protest at
Dataran Merdeka for tomorrow, saying the findings of the select committee were
disappointing and did not meet its demands for electoral reform.
Abdul Aziz became EC
chairman on January 2009 while Wan Ahmad was appointed in 2007
