Parti Bansa Dayak Sarawak (PBDS) supreme council member Sidi Munan claimed he had no knowledge of any move by the faction led by Dr James Masing ( photo ) to elect rival office-bearers for the party.

The faction has been embroiled in a long-running leadership dispute with Daniel Tajem and Joseph Salang Gandum, who have since gained control of the party.

The Masing-Sng group is scheduled to hold a mass gathering in Bintulu on Thursday, with an expected attendance of 1,600 delegates and observers from 175 branches.
