(Confirming the number of votes before making the important Announcement)
We were there to witness this Elections along with hundreds of KPG EMPEROH JAMBU's villagers. This village is located somewhere along the Jalan Puncak Borneo, to your left hand side if you're from the 10th Mile Bazaar, passing Kpg.Bayur first before reaching Kpg.Emperoh Jambu, the same road that leads to the Borneo Highlands Resort. From the 10th Mile Bazaar, its less than 20 minutes' ride to get to the Kpg.
This weekend, the village folks went to the poll, to pick a NEW Ketua Kampung or Village Head to replace the existing KK.
Only two persons contested for the post as Village Head, Candidate #1 is Mr.Daniel Jita, #2 is Mr.Stephen Juleng, both Gov't pensioners.
There are 123 number of houses and only those whom they (the Committees) considered as "head of each household" are eligible to cast their votes.
Out of the total 123 votes, 10 "house owners" didnt turn up to exercise their rights, there was 1 Spoilt vote, and Mr.Daniel Jita won the post as the NEW KETUA KAMPUNG, convincingly!
The whole process took about 4 hours.
Amongst those present were the Penghulu and the assistant to the SAO Padawan.
Merekah Fajar & Family, would like to take this opportunity to "Congratulate"
Sama' Rado as the New Ketua Kampung of Emperoh Jambu, and trust he'll continue carrying the heavy responsibility and bring further development to the village folks there.
