Pakatan Rakyat today refused to submit to the announced results of the just concluded 13th general election, claiming electoral fraud and irregularities.

"It is unfair for us to form a decision based primarily on an election that we consider fraudulent," said de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.

He blamed the Election Commission for allowing electoral fraud to occur, adding that "the EC has failed the country".

"Until EC explains (the irregularities)," and until the results of disputed seats are resolved, Anwar argued that as far as he is concerned, BN is just short of a simple majority.
