Tok Mat barred from nomination centre
The BN deputy chairman was visibly upset and left the centre after a heated verbal exchange with an EC officer.
Barisan Nasional deputy chairman Mohamad Hasan, also known as Tok Mat, was barred from accompanying his BN Lendu candidate Abu Hakim Abdul Wahid into a Melaka state election nomination centre in Alor Gajah. The deputy chairman had been given a pass by the Election Commission (EC), leading him to question the reason for his exclusion during a tense encounter with an EC officer.
The officer insisted that only the candidate's proposer and seconder could join the candidate inside the nomination centre. After the heated exchange, Mohamad eventually left the centre visibly upset, with the reason for his pass remaining unclear.
