PAPAR: Upko President Datuk Ewon Benedick called for power sharing in the appointment of grassroots leaders in Sabah by Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) and Pakatan Harapan assemblymen.
He claimed that some Upko members are unhappy with the purportedly unbalanced appointment of grassroots leaders, especially in constituencies not represented by PH.He said the cooperation between GRS and Sabah PH should translate into power sharing, starting with the appointment of every district’s “ketua adat”.
“In Kadamaian, 60pc of appointments are made by my party and PH, with the rest coming from GRS. I hope this power-sharing formula can serve as an example for assemblymen of other constituencies, because without the support of PH assemblymen, the current government in Sabah would not have been sustained.
Meanwhile, Ewon also announced that Upko is eyeing for the Limbahau seat in the upcoming state election. The incumbent Datuk Juil Juatim won the seat under Parti Warisan ticket in 2020, but quit the party in 2021 and became Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat assemblymen.Stay up-to-date by following Daily Express’s Telegram channel.* Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel for the latest news you don't want to miss.
