KUALA LUMPUR - The Election Commission (EC) today announced that the Kota Marudu parliamentary seat in Sabah was won by Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat (PKDM) candidate, Datuk Wetrom Bahanda, with a majority of 8,174 votes in the 15th General Election (GE15).

The election results for the parliamentary seat could not be announced earlier due to weather issues.

EC chairman, Tan Sri Abdul Ghani Salleh, in a statement today, said that the voting results for the P168 Kota Marudu Parliamentary seat have been received safely, and were announced at 6.40 am today.

Wetrom, who is also a Bandau state assemblyman, secured 24,318 votes, defeating four-term incumbent, Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili, who is also the Parti Bersatu Sabah president.
