The nine candidates in the running for the Tanjung Aru seat in the Nov 29 Sabah polls.
PUTATAN: There will be a nine-cornered battle for the Tanjung Aru seat in Sabah with Warisan vice-president Junz Wong, the former assemblyman, taking on Sabah DAP deputy chairman Chan Foong Hin, among others.
Wong won the seat in 2020 with a 3,147-vote majority, when Warisan and Pakatan Harapan had an electoral pact.
Their candidacies were confirmed by the Election Commission returning officer at the nomination centre here.
Earlier, DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook accompanied Chan, the central DAP policy director, as they marched to the nomination centre.
Chan is also the two-term Kota Kinabalu MP and deputy agriculture and food security minister.
Wong was formerly with DAP and had won the Likas seat on the party’s ticket in 2013. He left the party in 2016 to become a founding member of Shafie Apdal’s Warisan.
