Kota Kinabalu:  Warisan president Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal is in two minds over which seat to contest in the 15th general election (GE15).

He said there are several considerations to be made before deciding to defend the Semporna parliamentary seat he has held since 1995 when he was with Umno and since 2018 with Warisan.

“I’m not sure yet (about defending Semporna), I haven’t made any decision. We will see when the time comes,” he said when met by reporters after launching the Putatan Warisan GE15 machinery here last night.

In GE14, Shafie defended the Semporna parliamentary seat winning with a majority of 20,674 votes.

However, of late, there has been talk that he would contest the Lahad Datu parliamentary seat in GE15 against incumbent Mohamaddin Ketapi, who quit Warisan in October 2021.
