Warisan-STAR-KDM pact could give GRS a serious fight, says analyst

Awang Azman Pawi says an electoral understanding among the three local parties can make them ‘very formidable, but not automatically dominant’.

Warisan-STAR-KDM pact could give GRS a serious fight, says analyst

Analysts warn that a potential pact between Warisan, STAR, and KDM could pose a significant challenge to GRS in the upcoming Sabah general election. While this coalition would bring together the three parties' strengths, it may not guarantee victory in the polls. According to Awang Azman Pawi of Universiti Malaya, the alliance could be formidable, but not automatically dominant.

The pact could help Warisan, STAR, and KDM overcome fragmentation and address Sabah's issues, as the three parties already hold a combined 28 seats, just one shy of GRS. However, the success of this alliance depends on effective coordination and credible candidates, as well as addressing seat overlaps and potential leadership conflicts.
