The Federal Court has dismissed the Penang government and former Aliran president P Ramakrishnan's application for local government elections to be held.
The five-member bench led by Court of Appeal president Justice Md Raus Sharif dismissed the questions of law proposed.

"I guess with this, the only way to bring the rights of the people to elect their local council members or mayors is by amending existing federal laws or we have a change of government," he added.
