GRS to hold convention on Sunday with eye on GE16

The Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) is set to convene its annual convention on Sunday, with the primary focus on preparations for the upcoming general election (GE16). The convention will be held at Dewan Tun Mustapha in Kudat, Sabah, following the decision to rotate the location of the event annually.

Expected to attend the convention are approximately 3,000 delegates and observers representing all 26 parliamentary constituencies in Sabah, as well as observers from Labuan. The convention aims to discuss the GRS's political strategy and development efforts, with central and divisional leaders convening to share insights and evaluate progress.

While grassroots leaders unable to attend can submit their feedback online via a platform prepared by the GRS headquarters secretariat, the convention will feature key addresses from GRS chairman Hajiji Noor and his six deputy chairmen. Hajiji Noor will deliver the keynote speech, emphasizing the party's commitment to winning more than 15 parliamentary seats in the upcoming election, based on a simulation of last year's state election results. Currently, GRS holds seven MPs in the Dewan Rakyat.
