Extraordinary support indicates that KDM may contest up to 50 seats in PRN—Peter Anthony

KOTA BELUD: Datuk Peter Anthony, the President of the Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat (KDM), said that the party is currently experiencing remarkable support, even in regions where KDM does not hold a majority (Kadazan, Dusun, Murut, and Rungus).

He noted that there have been numerous requests for the party to broaden its reach, particularly in predominantly Muslim areas.

“Initially, I announced that KDM would aim to contest over 30 seats, especially in areas where KDM holds a majority. However, given the current circumstances and the influx of requests we have received, it is feasible that the number of seats we contest could rise to 50,” he remarked.

The Melalap assemblyman made these comments after officiating the launch of the 17th State Election machinery (PRN17) for the Kadamaian in Kampung Bukid, here recently.

Additionally, Peter expressed his belief that the outcome of his court case on November 27 will not diminish the public’s support for the party.

He mentioned that he and the KDM leadership are prepared for any eventuality and have contingency plans should the court’s ruling not be in his favour.

“Regardless of the court’s decision on November 27, I am confident that the support for KDM will not wane but will instead strengthen,” he asserted.

“We have observed, during our tours to various regions, that the response has been exceedingly positive,” he added.

Furthermore, he is optimistic that the competition for seats among the parties in the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) will benefit KDM, which has opted to operate independently in the PRN17.
