KOTA KINABALU: Sabah is set to have a second by-election this year, following the death of Batu Sapi MP Datuk Liew Vui Keong.

The Parti Warisan Sabah permanent chairman, fondly known as VK Liew, died around noon on Friday due to complications from lung infection at a private hospital. He was 60.

On Oct 9,2010, former Batu Sapi MP Datuk Edmund Chong Ket Wah was killed in a road accident when he was riding a motorcycle. The EC will have two weeks to sit and set a date for the by-election, which will have to be held within 60 days of being informed of the vacancy by Parliament.
