Bersih 2.0 claims govt made most election fouls during Sandakan poll
The number of election offences committed during the recently-ended Sandakan by-election was 19, fewer than those detected during the previous two by-elections before it in Rantau and Cameron Highlands, according to Bersih 2.0.
(MMO) – However, the election watchdog claimed that the coalition in power had made more fouls compared to the Opposition this time even as it admitted that there were no reports filed nor evidence forthcoming from witnesses to back up its allegations.
“The most cases came from the ruling government’s side, which included the use of government assets, campaigning on polling day, treating to food or drinks and using undue influence,” Sabah Bersih 2.0 vice-chairman Beverly Joeman said.
