State Reform Party's (STAR) Sabah chairman Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan said he will contest in the Keningau parliamentary constituency in the coming general election.
He also did not rule out re-contesting in the Bingkor state seat.
"I will contest in Keningau. I'm hoping he (his elder brother Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan) will not be going for the seat anymore. He has served the constituency for 30 years. I think it's time for me to bring Sabah issues to parliament," he told Bernama in an interview here, recently.
Pairin is PBS president and Sabah Deputy Chief Minister as well as Member of Parliament for Keningau and state assemblyman for Tambunan.
In the 2008 general election, Dr Jeffrey had contested against Pairin for the Keningau parliamentary seat but was defeated.

terpulang pada jeffrey nk bertanding di Keningau. kita tgk adakah dia akan dpt sokongan.
ReplyDeletePerbezaan fahaman politik memungkinkan timbul masalah. Jangan pula timbul perbalahan antara pemimpin adik beradik ni.
DeleteMungkinkah Pairin akan 'merestui' niat JK ni??
ReplyDeletewalaupn mereka adik beradik, namun mereka tidak sefahaman, tidak mustahil jika mereka akan bersaing pada PRU nnti.
ReplyDeletethat would be an interesting fight to have both brother fighting against with each other.
Delete"In the 2008 general election, Dr Jeffrey had contested against Pairin for the Keningau parliamentary seat but was defeated."
ReplyDeleteIts not surprising at all if history repeat itself again.
Bertembungan dua keluarga untuk merebut kerusi di keningau.
ReplyDeleteNampaknya Jeffery mahu juga kerusi yang diduduki oleh Pairin. Pertandingan antara adik dan abang dan siapa yang akan menjadi pilihan penduduk keningau.
ReplyDeleteEven if Jeffrey won, STAR still cannot topple down BN.
ReplyDeletebolehkah dia kalahkan abang dia? selama 30 tahun Pairin mempertahankan kerusi ini, tentu telah banyak sumbangan2 beliau di kawasan itu.. berbanding dengan Jeffrey yang tidak ada sumbangan langsung melainkan sekadar menjual air liur basi ke segenap kampung..
ReplyDeleteapa2pun kalau benar itulah hasrat si Jeffrey, saya harap beliau berjaya la.. tapi jangan kerana politik, hubungan kekeluargaan menjadi renggang..
ReplyDeleteas far as the BN was concerned, every promise made to the people would be fulfilled
ReplyDeletePBS president Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan announced that he wished to re-contest the Keningau parliamentary. he also expressed confidence that the people’s support for the Barisan Nasional in Keningau has remained strong. He said the people must continue to back the ruling coalition because it has an unblemished record.
