KOTA KINABALU, Nov 2 — Sabah PAS members and supporters have been asked to support and vote for candidates representing Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) and Barisan Nasional (BN) in the state in the upcoming 15th General Election (GE15).

Sabah PAS secretary Aliakbar Gulasan said support for the GRS-BN candidates was a sign of supporting the principle of national unification initiated by PAS.

He said that support was also among the issues discussed with the central PAS leadership and agreed upon in a special meeting of the Sabah PAS liaison body here tonight.

“Sabah PAS has also not nominated a candidate to run in GE15 in the state. Sabah PAS will coordinate the machinery to support (GRS-BN candidates) comprehensively at the state and constituency levels,” he said in a statement tonight.
