KOTA KINABALU, Dec 16 — United Borneo Front (UBF) president Datuk Jeffrey Kitingan today announced the formation of the United Borneo Alliance.
Bernama Online reported that the United Borneo Alliance is made up of Sabah- and Sarawak-based parties and has a Borneo-centric agenda that champions the interests of East Malaysians.
The alliance also plans to run against Barisan Nasional (BN) in the next general election, which is anticipated soon.
Also present at the announcement, made during UBF’s first anniversary celebrations, were Sarawak-based State Reform Party (Star) president Dr Dripin Anak Sakoi, pro-tem president of newly revived USNO, Datuk Badaruddin Mustapha, and Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) deputy president, Amde Sidik.
Kitingan, however, refused to name a platform upon which both he and his supporters would campaign in light of recent speculation that he intends to form the Sabah chapter of a Sarawak-based party.
