Ongkili said the party arrived at its decision to respond to grassroots’ support and demand, but said it has yet to decide on a ‘winnable’ candidate. — Picture by Yusof Mat Isa
The decision comes after local allies Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku president Datuk Jeffrey Kitingan said they were trying to reach a consensus on putting forward one candidate to represent the local Opposition. “The party is still vetting the list and hopes to make an announcement before nomination day. We have a lengthy list of potential candidates, and names are still being submitted by our members and grassroots in Sandakan,” he said.“We are excited to fly our own flag in the coming by-election. We appeal to the Sandakan voters to support PBS for their representative and voice in Parliament.
Last week, Kitingan told reporters that several local Opposition parties would meet to discuss possibilities on agreeing on one candidate.
