KOTA KINABALU: SAPP is fully prepared for the general election because the re-energising of party branches and Constituency Liaison Committees have already been completed in August in time for the Party Congress on September 3rd.
Prior to the Congress, more than 1000 youths aged 17 to 20 have been trained through the Sunrise programme, on the party struggle and campaign.
At a discussion among Supreme Councillors at the Party HQ this afternoon, Party President, Datuk Seri Panglima Yong Teck Lee, repeated his announcement at the Congress that the “wish list” of constituencies to contest are Kota Kinabalu, Sepanggar, Papar, Sandakan, Lahad Datu and Tawau.
However, SAPP will respect the views and position of others GRS Parties in arriving at a final seat allocation by Gabungan Rakyat Sabah.
SAPP HQ has instructed its Constituency Liaison Committees to immediately activate the operation rooms at the six constituencies concerned.
In the event that the constituencies not being allocated to SAPP to contest, the same operation rooms will then be used to campaign for candidates from other GRS Parties.
All party branches in other constituencies will campaign for candidates from other GRS Parties.
The dissolution of Parliament has removed the uncertainties that have been distracting the work of government and causing hesitation in the economic sector such as investment decisions by investors.
