PBB accepts Puncak Borneo MP as ordinary party member

 

Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), which forms the bulk of the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) coalition, has accepted Puncak Borneo MP Willie Mongin’s application as a member.

Announcing this after chairing PBB’s supreme council meeting in Kuching today, party president Abang Johari Openg said Willie’s admission into the party will be as an ordinary member and without any commitment.

“As an ordinary member, because he (Willie) supports PBB as a good party,” Johari told a press conference after the meeting.

Willie (above), who is the deputy minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities and a member of Bersatu applied to join PBB earlier this year.

He won the Puncak Borneo seat in 2018 on a PKR ticket but was expelled by the party along with several other MPs in 2020 who were aligned to its then deputy president Azmin Ali.
