Published on: Saturday, June 28, 2025 Published on: Sat, Jun 28, 2025 By: Iskandar Dzulkifli Text Size: PUTATAN: Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) is being urged to consider a young candidate for the Petagas seat in the upcoming state election (PRN17) to reflect the demographic makeup of the constituency.

With Undi18 in effect, it's only right to field a youth candidate in Petagas,' he said during the division's annual conference on Friday. He stressed the need for a balanced representation across GRS, including experienced leaders, women, and youth. However, he added that the division would respect the party leadership's final decision.
