KOTA KINABALU: Hopes for local opposition parties to cobble together an electoral pact have dimmed further with Parti Warisan Sabah president Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal warning potential partners not to issue ultimatums. Bumburing also said that no party should take the lion’s share of Sabah’s 60 state and 25 parliamentary seats. “They are free to make their choices,” Shafie told reporters after attending a Warisan public forum here on Sunday (March 11). He said that Warisan was open to having discussions with PCS, and Pakatan Harapan’s Sabah DAP and Sabah PKR, with the ultimate aim of toppling the state's Barisan Nasional-led government. Following the statement, political observers said they expect PCS to go it alone after it left the Gabungan Sabah coalition last year hoping to forge a political alliance with Warisan.
