KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Pas has confirmed it will field candidates in the upcoming 17th State Election this year.

Its Commissioner, Datuk Aliakbar Gulasan (pic), said the party has yet to finalise its coalition partners or the logo it will contest under.

Speaking at a Hari Raya open house event in Sepanggar on Saturday, he hinted that Sabah Pas may target seats such as Karambunai but has not set a specific number of constituencies.
