KOTA KINABALU: Kunak assemblyman Norazlina Arif has won a close race to become the new Parti Warisan Wanita chief, winning by only a razor-thin seven votes majority against contender Jenifer Lasimbang on Friday (Aug 26).

Norazlina, who denied speculations she was quitting the Opposition party last October, collected 68 votes against the 61 garnered by Lasimbang, a former Moyog assemblyman as well as former state assistant minister.
