KOTA MARUDU: Bandau state assemblyman Wetrom Bahanda has not sent in his resignation letter to Bersatu despite his announcement on social media, says Sabah chief minister Hajiji Noor.
The Sabah Bersatu chief said the matter only came to be known through social media yesterday.
“We have not received his resignation letter. What we know is from what we have seen on social media.
“No matter what, I am confident that the Kota Marudu Bersatu division, which is headed by Wetrom, will continue to exist.
“Together with other component parties of Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), we will work hard to win in Kota Marudu,” he told reporters after attending the GRS Tour of the Kota Marudu parliamentary constituency here.
Yesterday, a video went viral on social media showing Wetrom’s announcement to quit Bersatu and join Warisan.
He has been touted as Warisan’s candidate for the Kota Marudu parliamentary seat in the next general election.
When contacted by the media, Wetrom said he would hold a press conference on Tuesday or Wednesday regarding the matter.
Wetrom was previously appointed as assistant minister in the chief minister’s department under the state government led by GRS-BN.
Hajiji said he was confident that Bersatu members in Kota Marudu would support the GRS candidates in GE15.
In the last general election, PBS president Maximus Ongkili, who is caretaker Sabah and Sarawak affairs minister, won the Kota Marudu seat with a majority of 1,774 votes.
Hajiji also hinted at retaining Ongkili as the GRS candidate to defend the Kota Marudu seat.
“He is an experienced leader who has fought for the state of Sabah at the federal level,” he said. - FMT
