PKR will file a civil suit to strike out the 13th general election results as null and void after The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) said funds from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) were used for election campaigning.
Its vice-president, Nurul Izzah Anwar, said the suit will be filed "as soon as possible", and would also follow a report to be lodged with the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) on the matter.
Nurul Izzah said the allegation of using such funds, implicating Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, questions the credibility of Najib, Barisan Nasional, and Umno's legitimacy to lead the country.
She added that under electoral laws, Barisan should have only spent close to RM100 million for elections at both parliamentary and state levels, but the allegations meant that the ruling coalition might have spent RM 2.6 billion for campaigning.
