KOTA KINABALU: Datuk Dr Joachim Gunsalam (pic) has placed himself in the best position to take over from Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) president Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili when he retires in three years’ time.

This is following his razor-thin victory against Kiulu assemblyman Datuk Joniston Bangkuai for the No 2 post for the non-Muslim bumiputra quota on Friday (July 1).
