KOTA KINABALU — Sabah Umno deputy chairman Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan has denied claims that Barisan Nasional will likely contest the next state election here on its own.
He said there has not been formal talks on whether the coalition would partner with the ruling Gabungan Rakyat Sabah or head into the election on its own.
“There was no discussion about who will join us and we did not discuss how many chairs were requested by Umno and so on. There is no such discussion.
“So, as far as I’m concerned, as deputy chairman of Sabah Umno, we are in a situation where the discussion between us and the central leadership is still ongoing. There are so many dynamics going on throughout the day. Every day, there is a new development,” he said.
