Kota Kinabalu: Pakatan Harapan (PH) will soon begin discussions with Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) on potential political cooperation for the coming 17th State Election (PRN17), said Sabah Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Chief Mustapha Sakmud.

He said preliminary talks between PH and Barisan Nasional (BN) have already begun. 

Mustapha said the discussions with both GRS and BN are in line with the directive from Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is also PH Chairman and PKR President.

“What we have received from our party President is that we are to negotiate with BN and GRS. As for other parties, we are leaving it to them to hold their own discussions. 

“Negotiations among PH component parties in Sabah are also ongoing to finalise seat allocations before moving on to discussions with BN and GRS. After this, we will begin discussions with GRS at the PH level,” he said after officiating the Sabah’s Higher Education Institutions Sports Championship (SUIPTS) at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) Arena, Saturday.

GRS has previously stated that its political cooperation will focus on working with parties that are part of the current State Government, namely GRS and PH.
