Parti Bersatu Sabah confident of retaining Matunggong stronghold

KOTA KINABALU: The loss of the Kota Marudu parliamentary seat, which was held by Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) president Datuk Seri Maximus Ongkili two years ago, has not dampened the party’s hopes to retain the Matunggong state seat in the upcoming state election, says party deputy president Datuk Dr Joachim Gunsalam.

He said his party will be able to hold on to the state seat, which is one of the party’s traditional strongholds. Matunggong, together with Bandau and Tandek, are three state seats in the Kota Marudu parliamentary seat.
