SANDAKAN, Oct 31 (Bernama) -- The list of PKR candidates for the 17th Sabah State Election is expected to be announced on Nov 9 or 10, according to Sabah PKR Leadership Council (MPN) chairman Datuk Mustapha Sakmud.
Mustapha said the official announcement will be made by PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in Kota Kinabalu.
"Discussions on seats with Barisan Nasional have been finalised, while with Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), there is only one seat left, but I think it will be resolved soon," he told reporters after the Sabah PKR Leadership Council's Sabah People's Hope Tour here tonight.
Regarding the focus in the Sandakan Parliament, Mustapha said the Sabah PKR will field candidates for two state assembly seats, namely Gum Gum and Karamunting.
One candidate represents the Bumiputera Muslims in Sabah and the other represents the Tionghua community. Today, we are here (on a tour) to provide explanations for all the things the MADANI government is implementing for Sabah.
"Sometimes we are misled by prejudices, and through this tour, we represent the MADANI government, the party, Pakatan Harapan, and provide information to the grassroots about the government's contributions," he said
The Election Commission has set Nov 29 as polling day for the 17th Sabah State Election, with nomination day on Nov 15 and early voting day on Nov 25.
