PKR deputy president Mohamed Azmin Ali urged voters in the Kimanis by-election to send a clear signal by rejecting Barisan Nasional tomorrow.

He said voters should not have a difficult decision to choose between Warisan candidate Karim Bujang and BN’s Mohamad Alamin based on the “track record” of both the parties contesting in the election.

“It is not difficult (for voters) to decide. We have two choices – (the first) Warisan, which cares about the people and is committed to developing Sabah, so we need to support Warisan.

“(Or) to vote for BN, where (many of) their leaders are waiting for their turn to go to jail (facing various court cases),” he said when campaigning in Kg Pimping, Membakut, yesterday.

The Kimanis by-election is a straight fight between Karim and Mohamad.

A total of 29,619 people out of the 29,664 ordinary eligible voters will go to the polls.

There will be 19 polling centres involving 68 channels open from 7.30am to 5pm for voters.

On Tuesday, eight out of nine early voters cast their ballots with one absentee and there were 35 postal voters.

Meanwhile, the Election Commission (EC) has appointed 653 electoral officers to conduct the polling process.

The official vote tallying centre is at Beaufort’s Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Mohd Dun Banir Hall.

The EC expects 70% voter turnout and the poll results should be known by 10pm. – Bernama, January 17, 2020.
