KOTA BELUD: Barisan Nasional (BN) will decide on its allies for the next Sabah state election only after the Sabah State Assembly is dissolved, said BN chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The Deputy Prime Minister, who is also Umno president, said the party is prepared to collaborate with any like-minded party that gives priority to protecting the well-being of the people of Sabah and the country.
“Our political stand is pragmatic and we can enter into cooperation with any party (for Sabah polls). The important thing is the government that is formed must have support from the majority of the people.
“In this matter, the priority is to strengthen the Unity Government, whether at the national or state level. This spirit must prevail,“ he told a media conference after the Kadamaian Development Launch held in conjunction with the Kadamaian Christmas Open House here today.
Also present was Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Minister Datuk Ewon Benedick, who is also Kadamaian state assemblyman. -Bernama
