Pbs Working With Harapan Jointly Decided By Grs Component Parties

---

 


The decision to work with Pakatan Harapan in the upcoming Sabah state election was collectively agreed upon by Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) component parties, said Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) secretary-general Julita Majungki.
She explained that the decision emerged from meetings between GRS chairperson Hajiji Noor and the presidents of the component parties, including PBS acting president Joachim Gunsalam.
"This is on the basis that GRS would be the dominant partner, as discussed and decided in the meetings. PBS also concurs with GRS chairperson Hajiji’s statement that GRS would be working with Harapan in the upcoming state election," Julita said in a statement today.
Last Sunday (July 27), Hajiji confirmed that an electoral pact will be formed between GRS and Harapan for the upcoming 17th Sabah state election.
GRS consists of PBS, Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah, Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku, Parti Maju Sabah, Pertubuhan Kebangsaan Sabah Bersatu, Parti Liberal Demokratik, Parti Harapan Rakyat Sabah and Parti Cinta Sabah.
The five-year term of the 16th Sabah state assembly will expire automatically on Nov 11, paving the way for the 17th Sabah state election.
Julita clarified that PBS has not endorsed any individuals as candidates for the upcoming state election at this juncture, stressing that any statement claiming PBS has named or supports particular individuals does not represent the party's official stance.
"The process of identifying and finalising potential candidates is still ongoing and will be decided collectively by the PBS leadership, with official announcements to be made through proper channels," she said.
