Pejuang not contesting Sabah polls, says info chief

Rafique Rashid Ali urges the Election Commission to rectify the misrepresentation of one of the candidates for the Kapayan seat.

Rafique Rashid Ali said Pejuang’s representatives in Sabah have been directed to lodge a police report over the misuse of the party logo.

PETALING JAYA:

 Pejuang is not contesting the Nov 29 Sabah polls, says the party’s information chief Rafique Rashid Ali.

He said one of the candidates announced today was misrepresented with the party’s logo on the Election Commission website, and he urged the commission to rectify the situation immediately.

“Pejuang president Mukhriz Mahathir has never issued any letter nominating anyone as a candidate on the party’s ticket. We emphasise that Pejuang is not contesting in the 2025 Sabah election,” he said.

Rafique said Pejuang’s representatives in Sabah have been directed to lodge a police report over the misuse of the logo.

The EC website currently lists Lasius Miki as Pejuang’s candidate in the 13-cornered battle for Kapayan.

Jannie Lasimbang (DAP) is seeking re-election to the seat, and is challenged by:

Chin Tek Ming (Warisan), Bernard Logijin (Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku), Billy Joe Dominic (Upko), Dr Edwin Bosi (Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat), Chin Ling Ling (Parti Impian Sabah), Wong Kong Fooh (Parti Kerjasama Anak Negeri), Kuo Lee On (Parti Bumi Kenyalang), Sylvester Moloukun (Parti Aspirasi Rakyat Sarawak) and independent candidates Cyril Gerald Liew, Sabariah Aziz and Land Lip Fong. - FMT
