Maximus Ongkili is taking leave as Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) president effective June 1.
PBS secretary-general Julita Majungki said in Ongkili’s (above) absence, deputy president Joachim Gunsalam would be helming the party as acting president.
"With Joachim, who is deputy president for the party's non-Muslim bumiputera quota, moving up as acting president, information chief Joniston Bangkuai would serve the additional responsibility of acting deputy president," she said in a statement today.
Julita said the move demonstrates the party's commitment to ensuring continuity and adapting to its leadership structure, which ultimately serves the interests of the party and its members.
In June 2022, Ongkili set a timeframe to identify his successor as the next party president, adding that a leadership transition could happen before or during the next party congress.
PBS is part of the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) alliance and a co-ruling party in the state, while Joachim is Sabah deputy chief minister II.
It has seven assemblypersons.
