Sabah BN staves off swing against coalition

KOTA KINABALU: A fractured opposition enabled Sabah Barisan Nasional to stave off a swing against the coalition in urban areas where the Chinese community make up the majority of voters. 

Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) president Datuk Yong Teck Lee and Sabah DAP election committee chairman Hiew King Chew said the opposition had gained much ground in these areas due to a high incidence of “protest votes.”
