KUALA LUMPUR, May 23 (Bernama) -- The Barisan Nasional (BN) and opposition parties have 21 days to file election petitions as the Election Commission (EC) has gazetted the official results of the 13th General Election (GE13) on Wednesday.

BN secretary-general Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor said the coalition's lawyers were scrutinising the results where the BN won or lost by a slim margin.

Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) vice-president Tian Chua said the party would likely file 27 petitions involving parliamentary and state constituencies, and coordinate the action with the DAP and PAS.

PAS secretary-general Datuk Mustafa Ali said the intended petitions were being studied by a special committee.

On the other hand, the DAP was still contemplating whether to file its petitions to challenge the results of certain seats in GE13.

"We are still in the process of gathering evidence," said its National Legal Bureau chairman Gobind Singh Deo.

In the just concluded GE13, the BN won 133 parliamentary seats while PAS (21), PKR (30) and the DAP (38).
