At least 32 candidates and supporters of the Liberal Party are presently being held under the custody of Malaysian police in Sandakan. Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) acting governor Mujiv Hataman said the party was on its way to a provincial political rally in Mapun, Tawi-Tawi on Tuesday, April 9, when their vessel was engulfed by the waves because of the bad weather in the area. Hataman explained that Malaysian maritime authorities immediately rescued the group and brought them to Sandakan. LP Languyan mayoral candidate Rommel Matba and vice-mayoral candidate Amman Matba were included in those who are presently being held in Sandakan.
