While newly elected President of Parti Kinabalu Progresif Bersatu (UPKO), Datuk Ewon Benedick, requested a two-year term, PKR expressed dissent. PKR Sabah's Secretary of the State Leadership Council, Sazayle Donol Abdullah, stated that PKR maintains its stance against UPKO leading PH Sabah due to their recent joining of the coalition. He argued that UPKO, being a smaller party, should not be given the position. The decision regarding the PH Sabah chairman will ultimately be made by the PH central leadership. However, PKR insists that the position is historically allocated to them. Despite Datuk Phoong Jin Zhe, the DAP Sabah chairman, stating that there is no quota system for the PH Sabah chairman election, he acknowledges that it is a personal opinion. Phoong, who is also the Kota Marudu PKR branch chief, suggested a transparent election involving all PH members to ensure fairness.
