KOTA KINABALU – Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) and Barisan Nasional (BN) will contest 13 and 12 federal seats respectively in an apparent seat-sharing formula between the two political groupings in the 15th general election (GE15).
According to sources close to the matter, the two coalitions are still finalising the terms on at least three more seats.
“They are Kota Marudu (now held by PBS), Sipitang (Bersatu) and Beluran (Bersatu),” he said.
“Kudat (now Bersatu) will be returned to BN, as well as Tuaran, Beaufort, and Libaran,” said the source who obtained first-hand information from the GRS leadership.
GRS comprises Bersatu, Sabah Star, PBS, SAPP and Usno, while BN’s components are Umno, PBRS, MIC and MCA.
Yesterday, Sabah BN chairman-cum-state Umno chief Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin has confirmed an electoral cooperation with GRS led by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor, who is also Sabah Bersatu chairman and GRS chairman.
