Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) Wanita Chief Azizah Mohd Dun has rejected any notion of sharing or borrowing candidates with coalition partners for the coming 17th Sabah state election.
“We want our GRS candidates to contest under the GRS ticket and logo. The idea of candidate sharing is completely inappropriate, illogical and should not happen,” she said, after the GRS Wanita meeting held at the Sabah International Convention Centre, Sunday.
She said the GRS Wanita wing is focused on strengthening its machinery at all levels and continuously expanding membership.
“Our Wanita wing alone now has about 28,000 members and we are confident this number grows daily,” she said, praising the dedication of Wanita members who work tirelessly without needing direction.
Azizah said GRS has delivered on its mandate as the State Government, bringing numerous changes that previous administrations failed to achieve.”This is not a fairy tale. It is proven and ongoing. What was not done by past governments has been accomplished by the GRS government,” she said.
The Wanita wing has also proposed several priorities for inclusion in the party’s election manifesto, with a particular focus on women’s issues and the nomination of women candidates.
“We have submitted our proposals for women candidates and hope the party’s top leadership will agree,” Azizah added.
