KOTA KINABALU: Sabah PKR election committee (JPP) members are upset that their counterparts from the peninsula appear to be taking over their duties in the polls here.
Sabah PKR election director Rosli Masaliku said he had received complaints from most divisions during polling on Sunday (Nov 4), about JPPs from central PKR requesting that they handle voting centres and sidelining local members.
“I was told that their numbers outnumber ours and this is not what was decided earlier,” he said.
He said the initial agreement was to have a 6:5 ratio of Sabah to central JPPs.
“This means that if there are six Sabah JPP for a division, then those from the central can only put in five of their men at the most to assist – but the situation now is the opposite,” Rosli claimed.
He also claimed that JPP members from central PKR were also allowing candidates to step into the voting line to “help out” the voting process.
He said such actions violate party poll regulations.
Rosli, however, did not say whether the candidates were later asked to leave the area.
“Candidates are only allowed to watch the process away from the voting line, not step inside,” he said.
“This seems dishonest and unfair to our JPP members who have gone through the required training for the polls,” Rosli said.
