Meltdown between coalition allies PBS and STAR over seat clashes is seen as denting their hopes of big victory. FMTNews PRNSabah Sabah Election

As Sabahans head to the polls tomorrow, a clash has broken out between PBS and STAR.

“There is a big potential of sabotage and this will cause splitting of votes. For sure PBS supporters will feel slighted over the move by STAR,” he said. But just hours after PBS and STAR signed the deal, STAR handed Chua his party membership card, and independent Anita Baranting, who is contesting the Tandek seat, submitted her membership form to STAR president Jeffrey Kitingan at a ceremony in Kota Marudu yesterdayAlthough Chua and Baranting remain as independents on the ballot papers, their association with STAR means the party will, without taking into account the other contesting parties, go head-to-head with PBS in six seats.

“This will also cause disappointment among STAR supporters who had hoped for more transparency and integrity from the party leadership,” he said. On another note, he said PBS will feel hurt even more after not being given the first pick on the negotiation table because it is not a component of either PN or BN. STAR is a member of Perikatan Nasional.
