Ongkili, whose party is part of Gabungan Rakyat Sabah, said he is ready to face any challenge as all elections are tough.

“Well, every election will always be tough. But we are set to do the best we can and offer our services to the locals in Kota Marudu.

“We are confident we will win.” 

Ongkili faces opponents from Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat’s Datuk Wetrom Bahanda, Warisan’s Datuk Jilid Kuminding, Pejuang’s Mohd Azmi Zulkiflee, Muda’s Shahrizal Denci and independent candidate Norman Tulang.
