Azmin said the meeting also discussed key matters, including preparations for the Sabah state election.

“The Supreme Council unanimously agreed that PN will take an active role in the Sabah state election,” he said.

He added that PN had already identified target constituencies and would make an official announcement in due course.

“The appointment of the new state PN chairmen takes effect on 28 October 2025,” Azmin said. - October 28, 2025
