KOTA KINABALU, Oct 7 (Bernama) -- The membership status of five leaders of Solidariti Tanah Airku (STAR) party who chose to remain with Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) in the 17th state election will be decided tomorrow.
STAR president Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan said his party would hold a special meeting tomorrow to determine the position of the five elected representatives.
"I have given them a week to decide whether they want to continue with STAR or not and that period ends tomorrow," he told reporters upon arriving at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport here this evening.
Last Thursday, STAR and Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) decided to leave GRS and contest on their own in the 17th state election.
However, during the announcement of the dissolution of the State Legislative Assembly by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Seri Hajiji Noor yesterday, four STAR elected representatives were present, namely STAR deputy president Datuk Ellron Angin who is also the incumbent of Sook seat; Datuk Abidin Madingkir (Paginatan); Datuk Annuar Ayub (Liawan); and Flovia Ng (Tulid).
Another STAR deputy president who is also the incumbent of Bingkor seat, Datuk Robert Tawik, although not present at the event, remained supportive of GRS and the five elected representatives were present at the GRS Supreme Council Meeting here, today.
Jeffrey said he respected the decision and it was their right to make any decision.
