Kota Kinabalu: The Wanita Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (PGRS) election machinery needs to work hard to ensure the present government is well received by the people.

Head of the PGRS Women’s Movement, Datuk Redonah Bahanda, said in order to achieve the goal, every machinery needs to improve, especially involving programmes at the grassroots level.

“Wanita Gagasan Rakyat wants the leadership under Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor to continue ruling the State and become the next Chief Minister of Sabah.

“In order to achieve this, it is the duty of all party machineries to gain as much confidence as possible from the people to remain the dominant party in Sabah.”
