“I have been invited by a local party, and for me, it is time to return to the grassroots as a Sabahan,” he said.
He was sacked from PKR on July 30 after he supported Umno Assemblyman Tan Sri Musa Aman’s attempt to become the Chief Minister.
When asked about his chances in Inanam now, Chua said he had given the media a comprehensive explanation before this and now left it up to his constituents to evaluate him.
“I have already explained my actions (in supporting Musa). I think the voters in Inanam are aware of my actions, but what is certain is that I will defend Inanam. I will not run away,” he said.
