Can Warisan turn the tables on Umno to consolidate Sabah For Sabahans on Jan 24?

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 5, 2026: Now that Warisan has confirmed contesting both the Kinabatangan and Lamag by election, Sabahans have the opportunity to strengthen its resolve and commitment to their political battle cry - Sabah For Sabahans.

In the 17th Sabah Elections, Sabahans voted for locals from Warisan and Gagasan Rakyat.

However, Gagasan Rakyat/PGRS have already demonstrated that they are pro-Persekutuan (Federal Government) in managing the state.

PGRS is just a Persekutuan’s political puppet/lackeys.

 

And, both the parliamentary (Kinabatangan) and state (Lamag ) seats will be contested by candidates from the racial and religious bigoted Umno.

Need we say more about Umno’s political agenda and commitment to the welfare and interests of Sabahans?

On Jan 24, Sabahans in Kinabatngan and Lamag will go to the polls again to elect their MP and assemblyman who are truly committed to Sabah For Sabahans.

Warisan confirms contesting Kinabatangan, Lamag by-elections

FMT Reporters

Deputy president Darell Leiking says the decision to contest the two seats should not be perceived as a sign of disrespect for the late Bung Moktar Radin.

Warisan has named ex-Sukau assemblyman Saddi Abdul Rahman as its candidate for the Kinabatangan parliamentary seat and Mazliwati Abdul Malik Chua for the Lamag state seat.

PETALING JAYA: Warisan has confirmed that it will contest the Kinabatangan and Lamag by-elections, with former Sukau assemblyman Saddi Abdul Rahman as its candidate for the parliamentary seat.

According to Malaysiakini, the party also named Mazliwati Abdul Malik Chua to contest the Lamag state seat.

Warisan deputy president Darell Leiking was quoted as saying that the decision to contest the two seats should not be perceived as a sign of disrespect for the late Bung Moktar Radin.

“The decision for Warisan to contest is not a denial of the contributions and service of the late representative, and certainly not a form of disrespect to him or his family,” he said when announcing the candidates at an event in Kinabatangan today.

Leiking said the decision instead stemmed from the belief that the people’s mandate must be upheld, and that the responsibility of representation can only be exercised through a legitimate and constitutional process.

Mazliwati contested the Kinabatangan seat in the 2022 general election, but lost to Bung who won with a 4,330 vote-majority. Mazliwati garnered a total of 12,512 votes.

Saddi won the Sukau seat in the 2008 general election and held it for three consecutive terms. In the 2020 state election, he contested the seat as an independent candidate and lost to Barisan Nasional’s (BN) Jaffry Ariffin.

Sabah BN has announced Ismail Ayob as its candidate for Lamag, while the Kinabatangan seat will be contested by Bung’s son, Naim Kurniawan.

The two seats were left vacant following Bung’s death on Dec 5.

Polling for both by-elections will take place on Jan 24, with nomination day and early voting scheduled for Jan 10 and Jan 20, respectively.

Jan 24: Chance for Sabahans to send a clear message to UG - repent, reform or pack-up in GE16

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 16, 2025: On Jan 24, Sabahans go to the polls again for the Kinabatangan and Lamag by-election, and both seats are expected to be contested and defended by the racial and religious bigoted Umno youth chief Dr Akmal "Dr Ham/I Am Malay First" Saleh's Umno.

It is a chance for Sabahans to send a clear message to the Pakatan Harapan (PH)-led so-called Madani Unity Government (UG), led by the NATO (No Action Talk Only) Anwar Ibrahim, that he must repent and reform or pack-up after the next general election (GE16) due in 2027.

Send Barisan-Umno packing in the by-elections with a message: Enough of political rhetoric, racial and religious bigotry … enough is enough, action only speaks, nothing else.

After Sabahans, especially the Chinese voters, dumped the DAP in the Nov 29 17th Sabah Election, and gave Shafie Apdal’s Warisan 25 seats and the popular vote, it is clear, like the Sarawakians, that they trust a sane and wise Muslim leader than the DAP to lead multi-racial Malaysians and Malaysia.

And Singapore Straits Times has posted a damning report on whether PH, like the DAP, is imploding with political leaders mulling to leave the coalition.

On Jan 24, Sabahans have the opportunity to help consolidate Warisan’s political standing in Sabah and Malaysia.

Kinabatangan, Lamag by-elections on Jan 24

FMT Reporters

The by-elections follow the death of Sabah Umno chief Bung Moktar Radin on Dec 5.

 

Nominations for the by-elections will be held on Jan 10 and early voting on Jan 20.

PETALING JAYA: The by-elections for the Kinabatangan parliamentary seat and Lamag state seat in Sabah will be held on Jan 24 next year, the Election Commission (EC) announced today.

In a press conference at the commission’s headquarters, EC chairman Ramlan Harun said nominations would be held on Jan 10 and early voting on Jan 20.

A total of 48,722 voters, including 196 policemen, are eligible to cast their ballots in the two by-elections.

The by-elections will cost the EC some RM10 million.

They follow the death of Sabah Umno chief Bung Moktar Radin on Dec 5, less than a week after being elected to a second term as Lamag assemblyman.

The 66-year-old defended his state seat with a slim majority of just 153 votes in the Sabah state election last month.

The former Sabah deputy chief minister had also been the Kinabatangan MP for six terms. In the 2022 general election, he retained the parliamentary seat with a solid 4,330-vote majority.

Last week, PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said Perikatan Nasional had decided not to contest the Kinabatangan and Lamag by-elections.
