KOTA KINABALU: Sabah PKR poll results will most likely be officially announced later than scheduled - perhaps even a day or two later - due to internal problems during the voting process.

Sabah PKR election chief coordinator Rosli Masaliku said the committee has yet to put up the official results due to several factors. This included the Saturday (Nov 3) scuffle in Keningau and the attempted takeover of polling centre duties by central election committee (JPP) members from West Malaysia from JPP Sabah members.

“We are also trying to get the official results up as fast as we can but there are just so many problems, be it technical or otherwise,” he said when contacted.

He said he does not know when the official results can be sent but is worried that they won’t be able to do it by today (Sunday, Nov 4).

Rosli said it is frustrating if the central JPPs keep meddling and not allow the Sabah JPPs to do their job.

“We in Sabah need to take care of our own matters, why do they have to take over as if we can’t do the job?” he said.

From the total of 25 divisions in Sabah, only 22 have had their counts done unofficially. 

The results seem to indicate that Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali is leading in the contest for the deputy president's post with contender Rafizi Ramli trailing behind.

For Sunday’s 13 divisions, only 11 have had their unofficial results out.

They are Beluran, Putatan, Kudat, Kimanis, Papar, Penampang, Silam, Semporna, Ranau, Kinabatangan and Kota Belud.

Tenom and Pensiangan have yet to complete the counting process. 

Keningau too has yet to see its results as the division would most likely have to revote.

There are also claims of cheating going on in Pensiangan at press time, with the voting process going past the 5pm deadline.
