00:00An analyst has cautioned that the call for Gabungan Rakyat Sabah to contest 52 out of 73 seats in the upcoming state election risks stirring discontent among its potential allies from national parties.
00:16Shahruddin Awang Ahmad of University Malaysia Sabah said parties like UMNO, which had a strong historical presence in Sabah, would see this as an attempt by GRS to take over their seats.
00:27He said GRS's proposal would have significant political implications on cooperation with Sabah's ruling coalition if it results in unfair seat distribution or does not reflect each party's actual strength.
00:42Last Sunday, GRS Vice President Mas Yongbana said GRS was expected to field candidates in at least 52 out of the 73 state constituencies at the next state polls, with the remaining 21 seats to be allocated to national parties that agreed to cooperate with GRS.
01:01GRS and Pakatan Harapan are currently allies in the Sabah State Administration, while the UMNO-led Barisan Nacional sits in the opposition.
01:09PH and BN have announced an alliance for the state polls, while talks are ongoing to include GRS in the pact.
01:18Lee Kuo-teung, also of UMS, said three cornered or multi-party contests would be unavoidable even if GRS cooperates with national parties ahead of the state election.
