Anwar expressed optimism that PH, GRS and BN would be able to reach an agreement for the coming state assembly elections, the Daily Express reported in Kota Kinabalu.
He said early discussions between PH and BN at the national level led to the shared agreement that unity was essential, both at the national and state levels.
Anwar, who was in Sabah today to hold talks with Hajiji, said he had discussed further bolstering the cooperation between PH and GRS.
He said discussions between GRS and Sabah BN would be left to the leaders of the two coalitions, who have been fierce rivals over the past two years since BN retracted support for Hajiji as chief minister.
However, Anwar said PH fully supported Hajiji’s role in leading the discussions.
Anwar said he had several discussions with Hajiji “so that this alliance can be further widened and we would be open (to working with other parties). The priority is political stability nationally and in Sabah,” Sinar Harian quoted him as saying.
On Friday, GRS threatened to go solo at the state polls if PH and BN finalised an electoral pact. Hajiji contended that local Sabah parties should be the backbone and head of the state government. - FMT
