BN letak calon di Pintasan, kata Bung

BARISAN Nasional (BN) akan meletakkan calon di kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) N.08 Pintasan pada Pilihan Raya Negeri ke-17, kata Pengerusi BN Sabah, Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin.

Beliau berkata demikian semasa menghadiri Majlis Kenduri Sekampung di Kampung Nanamun, yang dianjurkan oleh Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif ABM Wilayah Sabah, Tadzul Radim, semalam.

Sementara itu, penduduk tempatan menyuarakan harapan agar calon yang bakal dipilih dapat membawa pembangunan ke kawasan tersebut.

Muhammad Nur Fikri Halim Thakdim, 21, seorang pengusaha ikan dari Kampung Pintasan, berkata mereka berharap wakil rakyat nanti benar-benar turun padang dan memperjuangkan kepentingan penduduk.

Seorang lagi penduduk, Jamlan Makuntang, turut berharap tumpuan diberikan kepada pembangunan sektor pelancongan dan pertanian di kawasan berkenaan.

BN to contest Pintasan seat, says Bung

BARISAN Nasional (BN) has confirmed that it will contest the Pintasan state seat in the upcoming 17th Sabah State Election.

Sabah BN chairman Bung Moktar Radin said all individuals shortlisted by the party were qualified, but the final choice would be based on winnability and public acceptance.

“All proposed candidates have their own strengths, but we will select the best — someone who can win and truly represent the people’s voice. I urge all BN machinery to remain united and avoid internal division,” he said during an event in Kampung Nanamun, Kota Belud, last night.

BN’s announcement sets the stage for a likely three-cornered or multi-party contest, potentially involving its coalition partner, Sabah Pakatan Harapan (PH).

Just days earlier, Amanah, a component of Sabah PH, announced Mohd Julpikar Ab Mijan as its candidate for the Pintasan seat.

Meanwhile, United Sabah National Organisation (Usno) president Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia has also expressed his intention to make a political comeback by contesting in Pintasan.

The incumbent assemblyman for Pintasan is Datuk Fairuz Renddan from Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (Gagasan). Both Usno and Gagasan are component parties of the Gagasan Rakyat Sabah coalition.

In addition, Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat (KDM) has named Datuk Almudin Kaida as its candidate for the same seat.
