He said that there were also prediction as to how many seats Warisan and its allies consisting of Democratic Action Party (DAP), Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation (Upko) and Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) would win.
“But I do not want to be complacent. We must continue to work hard,” he said after attending a dialogue session with youth members from the Sabah Unity Movement at Tanjung Lipat, near here today.
