‘Only King can ask us to quit’

(The Star) – ELECTION Commission chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof has reiterated that the EC leadership will not step down just because some quarters were not happy with the 13th general election process, Utusan Malaysia reported on its front page.

He said he and his deputy as well as five others were appointed according to the Federal Constitution with the consent of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

“The EC is an independent body and members cannot be made to step down by force as demanded by certain groups,” he said.

Abdul Aziz said only the King could order the leadership to step down.
