AFTER close to a year at the helm of Parti Warisan Sabah, Shafie Apdal believes he has won the support of the ethnic groups in Sabah, including the KadazanDusun Murut (KDM). 

The last time the ethnic groups rallied around a political party was in the 1985 general election, when newly formed Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) led by Joseph Pairin Kitingan, via a gentlemen’s agreement with Usno led by Mustapha Datu Harun, defeated Berjaya.
