Ouster in Sabah DAP blamed on internal power struggle

KOTA KINABALU: The dramatic ouster of popular Kadazandusun grassroots leader Jannie Lasimbang and other top lawmakers from the Sabah DAP line-up is being blamed on internal power struggle within the party.

Former senator Adrian Lasimbang, who was also ousted in the party polls over the weekend, said that the move came as a surprise to them as they believe that certain state leaders plotted the move to consolidate their positions.
