"Due to this positive pressure and demand from the voters, Mojigoh decided to bend to the voters' wishes and to re-consider his intention (to retire from politics)," he said.Silak was commenting on Kapayan Assemblyman Dr Edwin Bosi reminding Mojigoh to honour his earlier pledge that he would not contest in Putatan in the coming 14th general election (GE14).Silak also questioned on what basis Bosi's claim that Mojigoh did not have the support of the Kadazandusun-Muruts (KDMs) when Mojigoh won handsomely in the KDM polling district in Putatan."Actually Bosi was the one who had failed to honour his 'Aku Janji' pledge to remain loyal with DAP after winning the Kapayan state seat in GE13.
