Split native vote kept PBS from winning more seats in Sabah polls, says Gunsalam

KOTA KINABALU: The splitting of native votes after Sabah STAR pulled out of Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) was a key factor in why Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) failed to gain ground in the Nov 29 state election, says Datuk Dr Joachim Gunsalam.

The PBS acting president said that with Sabah STAR’s exit, the two local parties' plans for cooperation were disrupted.
