A Sabah Election Drama: Candidate Faints at Nomination Centre
In a dramatic turn of events, a Parti Kebangsaan Sabah candidate, Dusi Gingging, contesting the Kiulu seat, fainted at the nomination centre in Tuaran, Sabah, this morning. The incident unfolded as follows:
Dusi, who was in the midst of submitting his nomination form, suddenly collapsed, prompting swift action from those present. Barisan Nasional's Sulaman candidate, Dr. Shahnon Rizal Thaijuddin, and Warisan's candidate for the same seat, Joseph Lee, rushed to his aid. They, along with others, assisted Dusi until medical personnel arrived.
A representative submitted Dusi's nomination papers on his behalf while he was being taken to Tuaran Hospital in an ambulance. This incident adds an unexpected twist to the election race, as Dusi's health scare could potentially impact his campaign.
In the last state election, the seat of Kiulu was won by Joniston Bangkuai of GRS with a substantial 1,221-vote majority. The outcome of this election is now even more uncertain, with Dusi's health scare adding an element of unpredictability to the race.
