KOTA KINABALU: Gagasan Rakyat Youth chief Datuk Fairuz Renddan (pic) said the party’s youth wing is 90 per cent prepared for the upcoming 17th Sabah state election, which may be called at any time.

Addressing the Gagasan Rakyat Youth Conference at SICC on Saturday, he highlighted that nearly 60 per cent of voters in Sabah are youth, positioning them as a key influence in shaping the state’s leadership.

Fairuz, who is also the Pintasan assemblyman, encouraged youth members to concentrate on campaign readiness rather than lobbying for candidacy.
