SABAH STATE ELECTIONS TODAY - 26.09.2020

 

SABAH POLLS | It's D-Day today - 'decision day' for the snap Sabah polls following a failed attempt to oust the ruling Warisan government.

It began when Umno’s Musa Aman announced in late July that he had gathered enough support from Sabah representatives who defected from their parties to form a new state government, with him returning as chief minister.

However, his coup attempt was thwarted by incumbent chief minister Shafie Apdal who dissolved the state assembly, paving the way for snap polls.

The Sabah election campaign has seen allies clashing with one another over seats and chief ministerial candidates as well as voter sentiments being whipped up over undocumented migrants, the Covid-19 pandemic, local parties versus Peninsular parties as well as development issues.

Now it will all come to a head as 1.12 million eligible Sabahans cast their votes to decide who will lead their new state government. 

With 73 seats up for grabs - up from 60 in the last election - voters can choose to support the Warisan Plus coalition, which is made up of Warisan, DAP, PKR, Amanah and United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation (Upko), or the new Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) comprising of Perikatan Nasional (PN), BN and Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS). 

Smaller local parties such as Parti Cinta Sabah (PCS) and Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) as well as independent candidates will also be joining the fight.
