PETALING JAYA:

Perikatan Nasional (PN) should contest the upcoming Sabah election on its own to reassess its influence after losing most of its assemblymen in 2022, analysts say.

Universiti Malaysia Sabah’s Bilcher Bala and Borneo Geo-Politics & Electoral Studies researcher Syahruddin Awang Ahmad said going solo would allow PN to test its real strength as a national coalition seeking to regain relevance in a landscape dominated by local parties and sentiments of state autonomy.

“Running alone will allow PN to project its own identity and measure its grassroots support without being tied to early compromises,” Bilcher told FMT.

Sabah PN chairman Ronald Kiandee earlier confirmed that the coalition would contest the 17th state election independently, although it remained open to possible cooperation depending on the political climate.
