Warisan seals electoral pact with DAP and PKR

GE14 | Parti Warisan Sabah has sealed an electoral pact with DAP and PKR, said Warisan president Mohd Shafie Apdal.

According to Star Online, this was announced during the party's inaugural congress in Kota Kinabalu today.

Shafie did not provide details on how the seats will be allocated among the three opposition parties.

It is understood that Warisan will be the leader of this pact.

When contacted, Warisan secretary-general Loretto Padua Jr confirmed that Warisan has not formed any pact with other local opposition parties.

The other opposition pact is known as Gabungan Sabah, comprising Sabah State Reform Party (Star), Harapan Rakyat, Sabah Progressive Party (Sapp) and Parti Perpaduan Rakyat Sabah (PPRS).

The rest of the opposition parties include Parti Cinta Sabah (PCS) and Parti Kerjasama Rakyat Sabah (Pakar).

Presently, DAP, PKR, Warisan, Star, Harapan Rakyat and PCS have at least one representatives on the opposition bench in the Sabah legislative assembly.

Meanwhile, Shafie told a press conference that Warisan was willing to work with Pakatan Harapan at the national level to form the next federal government.

"We are a multi-racial party, we don't want to follow the Harapan's coalition style in Peninsular Malaysia.

"When they form the government in Putrajaya, we will have ministers in the federal cabinet from Warisan and the Warisan (Sabah state) government will also have ministers from Harapan," he said.

According to Star Online, some 5,000 Warisan members took part in the congress, which was themed "In God we trust, change we must". -Mkini
