The Chinese voters in Sandakan remain firmly behind the DAP notwithstanding their uneasiness over economic and governance issues, making it difficult for Barisan Nasional or Gerakan to take the seat.
“The DAP has portrayed Umno as the ‘absolute evil’ thanks to the many corruption charges its leaders are facing in court now,” he said. Gerakan became a BN component party in the 1970s and only opted out after the coalition was ousted in the 14th general elections on May 9, last year.The Sandakan parliamentary seat fell vacant upon the death of its incumbent Datuk Stephen Wong of a heart attack on March 28. He was the Sabah DAP chairman.
Umno and PAS have already announced that they are staying out of the by-election but Parti Bersatu Sabah, once also a component of BN, has expressed interest. MCA and Gerakan have yet to make a formal announcement, but with Wong’s assessment, Gerakan is likely to give this by-election a miss as well.
