BN chairman when announcing it said PADU offered a new and fresh deal from the coalition to Malaysians, and contained 99 practices to propel the country towards a developed nation status.

Meanwhile, Bung Moktar, who is defending the Kinabatangan parliamentary seat, said Sabah BN had never endorsed any candidate to run on Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah‘s (PBRS) ticket as it would violate the agreement with Parti Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS).

He was referring to Datuk Ewon Ebin, who is contesting on PBRS’ ticket for the Ranau parliamentary seat in a five-cornered fight against incumbent Datuk Jonathan Yasin (GRS), Apirin Jahalan @ Taufik Sham (Pakatan Harapan), Azizul Julirin (Pejuang) and Markos Siton (Warisan).

According to Bung Moktar, no action could be taken since the candidate was using the PBRS logo to contest. - BERNAMA
