Umno's Abu Hassan Sharif has been reinstated as the state assemblyperson for Kota Siputeh in Kedah.
This follows the Court of Appeal's decision today to overturn a 2009 Kuala Lumpur High Court decision which had declared the seat as vacated.

The other two judges are justices Linton Albert and Aziah Ali.
