Azmin won the votes from the Sandakan, Libaran, Kalabakan, Sepanggar, Tawau and Beaufort divisions while Rafizi won the votes from the Batu Sapi, Kota Kinabalu, Tuaran, Sipitang, Kota Marudu divisions.
He also most likely won the votes of the Keningau division, though the results have not been released as of 10.30pm.

The result for Keningau is not out yet probably due to problems and a scuffle encountered just before the polling deadline at 4.15pm.
Sabah, the state with the second largest number of PKR members, however saw a low voter turnout of just below 40% its total members on the first of two days of voting.
All final results will be put up in the PKR website.
