KOTA KINABALU: Sabah PKR has completed branch elections in 25 areas and is now focusing on strengthening the party ahead of the upcoming State Election.

Sabah PKR Election Committee Director Datuk Peto Galim said the party aims to contest in its stronghold areas and maximise seat wins, with seat distribution talks among coalition partners nearly finalised.

He noted that while most branch election outcomes were expected, some areas chose new leaders, and re-elections will be held for the Silam and Semporna branches due to technical issues.

Peto said although former Sabah PKR chief Christina Liew lost her branch position, she may still play a key role depending on the party’s assessment of her contributions.

He added that Sabah PH remains united, collaboration with GRS is smooth, minimal changes are expected in the State Leadership Council (MPN), and alliances with like-minded parties are welcomed.
