The Sabah state election yesterday saw eight out of 10 candidates implicated in an alleged corruption scandal involving businessperson Albert Tei emerging victorious.

These included seven who contributed to Gabungan Rakyat Sabah's (GRS) 29 seats that allowed the coalition to cement its hold on the land below the wind, and one from a former GRS component party, Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (Star).
