Sarawak Polls: PSB's Mohamad Sofian encounters slight hitch on nomination day

Another candidate in Gedong is Mohamad Sofian Fariz Sharbini, who is representing Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB). With Amanah and Parti Bumi Kenyalang, Abang Jo looks set to be in a four-way contest in Gedong.

KUCHING: There was a slight hitch for Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB) candidate Mohamad Sofian Fariz Sharbini just as the Gedong nomination centre opened.

The challenger of Sarawak caretaker Chief Minister Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg was seen leaving the centre at the Gedong community hall at about 9.10am and heading to a coffee shop where Parti Sarawak Bersatu supporters were gathered.

It appeared as if he had forgotten something required for his nomination.

Mohamad Sofian was then seen heading back to the centre at about 9.15, and he has 45 minutes left until it closes at 10am.
