Petagas assemblyperson Awang Ahmad Sah Awang Sahari, who is Warisan treasurer-general, today announced quitting the party to join Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (Gagasan Rakyat).
The Putatan Warisan division leader, when announcing the decision, said it was to enable him to serve his constituents better.
“After thinking and discussing it for three months, I decided without hesitation to leave Warisan and join Gagasan Rakyat, and this decision is made with the support of almost all the committee members of Putatan Warisan.
“This decision (to leave Warisan) is made for the sake of the people in my constituency,” Awang Sah (above) told a press conference today.
Also present were about 20 members of the Putatan Warisan division, who also left the party to join Gagasan Rakyat.
Following Awang Sah’s decision, Warisan is now left with 15 state assembly members in Sabah and one in Selangor, while the Sabah government led by Chief Minister Hajiji Noor currently has the majority support 49 state assembly members.
The Sabah state assembly has 79 members, 73 of whom are elected and six others appointed.
