Warisan’s younger reps not likely to jump ship, say analysts

[superadmin]

KOTA KINABALU: Warisan need not worry about talk that more of its elected representatives may quit the party as those remaining are likely to stay loyal, analysts said.

They said the party can count on the younger leaders to remain loyal as they represent a new way of thinking.

They were commenting on the resignation of Sindumin representative Yusof Yacob last week to become an independent assemblyman supporting the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) coalition.

Warisan president Shafie Apdal claimed that Yusof, the party’s former information chief, had tried to influence others to leave the party to support GRS, with promises of handsome rewards.
