KOTA KINABALU: The Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) election took a dramatic turn when a delegate demanded a re-check on the spoilt votes in the contest for the deputy president’s post for the non-Muslim bumiputra quota.

This is after Datuk Johnny Mositun, the permanent chairman of PBS’ 36th and 37th annual delegates conferences, had earlier declared that Datuk Dr Joachim Gunsalam, who is the Sabah Deputy Chief Minister, had won by a slim five votes against his only contender Datuk Joniston Bangkuai.
