KOTA KINABALU: Barisan Nasional (BN) is gearing up for the 17th Sabah State Election and will not contest alone, said BN Chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

He confirmed BN will use its traditional dacing (scales) symbol but remains open to strategic partnerships to ensure political stability and victory.

“We seek more friends than foes,” Zahid said after officiating the Sabah 2025 Premier Women Empowerment Programme at SICC on Tuesday.
