KUCHING: PKR Selangau chief Joshua Jabeng has denied that a petition will be submitted to party president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to demand Baru Bian’s ouster as state chief during the state convention this weekend.

Although he maintained that 18 of the party’s 31 branches in the state wanted Baru to give up the chairmanship, he denied that there was a plan to submit a petition.
