00:00Sabah PKR will only be in a position to determine the number of seats it can contest in the upcoming state election once Pakatan Harapan and Barca National finalize their alliances, says a party leader.
00:15Sabah PKR Information Chief Razif Rakimian told FMT negotiations within PH were already in their final phase and could be completed before next month.
00:26Meanwhile, talks between BNPH and ruling state coalition Gabungan Rakyat Sabah are still ongoing.
00:33Razif said newly elected PKR Deputy President Nurul Iza Anwar's target of contesting in 13 seats may be too high, particularly if GRS joins the alliance.
00:44He called on PKR to wait until all electoral pacts are sealed before deciding how many seats the state chapter should contest.
00:51A total of 73 seats will be contested in the upcoming Sabah polls, which must be held before the year ends.
00:59Earlier, Nurul Iza had urged party president Anwar Ibrahim to negotiate with PH components and their allies to secure at least 13 seats for PKR in the election.
