PAKATAN Harapan (PH) will clash with their political partner, Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) in the Kemabong State Legislative Assembly (DUN) seat in the 17th Sabah State Election (PRN) on November 29.

This follows DAP naming former Tenom Member of Parliament, Noorita Sual as their candidate in the seat to challenge the incumbent from GRS, Datuk Rubin Balang who is also the Vice President of Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah.

During the nomination process this morning, Noorita was present with DAP Deputy Secretary-General Hannah Yeoh.

When announcing the list of candidates for the Sabah PRN previously, DAP only listed seven names and postponed the announcement for the Temabong seat.

Sabah DAP chairman Datuk Phoong Jin Zhe is nominated in the Likas DUN, Desmond Chan (Luyang), Datuk Chan Foong Hin (Tanjung Aru), Datuk Jannie Lasimbang (Kapayan), Vivian Wong (Elopura), Tang Szu Ching (Tanjung Papat) and Philip Yong (Sri Tanjong).

Previously, Barisan Nasional (BN) announced Rahmah Jan Sulaiman from UMNO as its candidate.

In this PRN, GRS has formed a partnership with PH, which is also in alliance with Barisan Nasional (BN), but there is no partnership between BN and GRS. - November 15, 2025
