SANDAKAN: DAP's Vivian Wong has emerged victorious in the Sandakan by-election, picking up a 11,521-majority win in taking the seat that her father held until his passing in March.

In the process, she helped to snap the run of three consecutive by-election losses suffered by Pakatan Harapan in Cameron Highlands, Semenyih and Rantau.
