DAP wiped out in Sabah elections. GRS leads with 21 seats





DAP has been completely wiped out, losing in all eight seats it contested in the Sabah elections.

DAP lost in the once-unassailable urban Chinese strongholds, with early unofficial results pointing to a near-total wipeout in key Kota Kinabalu and Sandakan seats.

In Sri Tanjong, the party’s mission to recapture the seat from turncoat Justin Wong appears dead in the water.

With nearly 40% of votes counted, Warisan’s Wong leads by a crushing 7,400 to DAP challenger Philip Yap’s 5,000 – a gap that insiders admit is “almost impossible” to close.

The carnage continued in Luyang where DAP state chief Phoong Jin Zhe trailing Warisan badly (3,300 vs 1,700), while in Tanjung Aru, Kota Kinabalu MP Chan Foong Hin is being routed by Warisan vice-president Junz Wong 1,000–400 in early counts.

Sandakan’s Elopura delivered another body blow: incumbent Calvin Chong, another DAP defector now with Warisan, leads Vivian Wong 1,600–1,100.

The common thread? Every seat DAP is losing was held by incumbents who quit the party and joined Warisan.

Tonight, those defectors are exacting brutal revenge on their former party in the very Chinese-majority areas DAP long considered its backyard.

As counting continues, the DAP rocket risks being shot down over its own fortress. Even the state DAP chairman is not spared in tonight’s bloodbath.

The potential fall of the Sabah DAP chief in his own stronghold caps a catastrophic night for the Rocket in Chinese-majority urban seats across the state.

GRS has rubbed salt into DAP’s wounds, releasing its own unofficial tally declaring the Rocket’s rout in six contested seats.

According to GRS figures, DAP has lost:

• Luyang
• Tanjung Aru
• Kemabong (declared won by GRS itself)
• Elopura
• Tanjong Papat
• Sri Tanjong

The ruling coalition says the remaining five seats were all captured by its ally Warisan.

The announcement confirms DAP’s worst nightmare: a clean sweep against the party in every major urban battlefield it entered tonight, with the sole exception falling to GRS in Kemabong.

For a party that once dominated Sabah’s Chinese-majority areas, the scale of the collapse is unprecedented.
