No split votes for Sabah Opposition
Sabahans have definately decided not to split their anti-BN votes. Ironically, this is an idea promoted by Sapp.

They will vote for the most winnable Opposition candidate.
For Parliament, the trend is to vote for PR except in Keningau where Jeffrey Kitingan is taking on his elder brother Joseph Pairin Kitingan and in Penampang where Bernard Dompok is defending his seat.
Dompok will retain his seat.
Jeffrey is poised to create an upset if he can keep the illegals from voting or get enough locals to come out and vote to defeat the illegals.
Patently, Pairin is evidence that Putrajaya is treating the people of Sabah and Sarawak as if they are wearing penis sheaths, living in caves and on tree tops and swinging from tree to tree.
For state, Sabahans will vote Star/Usno and Dap.
Sapp has committed hara kiri with its statement that it will join PR after the 13th GE. This was in response to Dap claims that Sapp is just waiting to frog back to BN.
Before nomination day, Sapp said it can’t join PR because it’s fighting for the autonomy of Sabah.
It was Sapp which compromised the autonomy of Sabah in 1994 to break away from the Parti Bersatu Sabah and gang up with Umno to bring down the Pairin Government.
Sapp has zero Chinese support. That’s Dap territory.
Sapp will be lucky to retain its Likas and Luyang state seats. It will lose the Tawau parliamentary seat to PKR and probably Sepanggar too where Dap is ahead.
It’s depending on support from the Suluks and the smaller Dusunic communities in that order.
It can forget about support from the Kadazans (urban Dusuns) and the Dusuns (Kitingans).
Star can be a player in the next state gov’t in Sabah if BN gets less than 30 seats and the rest are picked up by Star, Sapp, independents and PR.
The Opposition can get 13 parliamentary seats including Labuan i.e. Star/Usno 5 (min 10 state) KDM/Suluk; Dap 3 (max 6 state) Chinese; and independents/PKR 4 (max 12 state) Suluk/other Muslim; and Pas 1 (max 3 state) Suluk/other Muslim.
