KOTA KINABALU - Parti Warisan (Warisan) is expected to contest in less than 30 State Legislative Assembly and parliamentary seats in the peninsula in the 15th General Election (GE15).
Its president Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal said the candidates who will be fielded by the party did not only possess the qualification, but were also outspoken in Parliament.
"Tomorrow (Monday) I will be going to Kuala Lumpur to announce the candidates for seats in Kedah, Perlis and Kuala Lumpur.
"There will be less than 30 parliamentary seats and we have State Assembly (candidates)," he said after attending the Sabah "Reset" dinner event at Dewan Hakka in Likas here on Sunday night.
During the event, he also announced the name of three youth candidates who will be fielded to fight for the Kota Kinabalu, Sandakan and Tawau parliamentary seats in GE15.
Asked whether there will be other youth candidates in Warisan's list, he said that it will be announced on Thursday.
"There are more (young candidates) for rural areas, graduates. Wait for Nov 3, I will announce all the Warisan candidates nationwide," he said.
Meanwhile, when asked about the cooperation with Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS), he said he had never closed the door for cooperation but expressed his disappointment when Warisan was labeled as a party for illegal immigrants (Pati).
"I want the people in the country to be united and we start with Sabah, that's my goal. I can join many parties. But I will see which is the best because I want to see this heading towards a positive direction," he said.
