KOTA KINABALU: Flood victims in Penampang turned emotional when Pakatan Harapan candidate Datuk Ewon Benedick canvassed for votes in the Kadazandusun-majority constituency on Sunday.

Benedick, who is also the incoming Upko president, spent time visiting several homes in Kampung Sugud, one of the flood-prone villages in Penampang, which was hit again due to heavy rain the night before.
