The Election Commission confirms the Sabah state election will see 73 seats contested this time around. Parliament passed a bill last year to increase the number of seats there by 13.
2. Meanwhile, Barisan Nasional confirms it will contest all 73 seats in Sabah, with negotiations for seat allocations within the party expected to be completed within two weeks. Kinabatangan MP Datuk Bung Mokhtar Radin also confirms he will contest in the Lamag state seat.
3. Sabah PKR is working on its candidates' list for the upcoming state election, which will be submitted to Parti Warisan Sabah once finalised. State PKR chairman Datuk Christina Liew assures any candidate proposed will be more stringently vetted.
4. Meanwhile, Warisan Permanent Chairman Datuk Liew Vui Keong told BFM News, the Pakatan Harapan-friendly parties had already expected these developments since former Chief Minister Tan Sri Musa Aman was cleared of his corruption charges.
5. Liew is also confident the defection of several assemblymen to support former Sabah Chief Minister Tan Sri Musa Aman, would not impact the results of the upcoming snap election.
