KOTA KINABALU: The Putatan Umno division has passed a resolution for Kinabatangan MP Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin to lead the state party into the Sabah election expected by Sept 2025.

Putatan division chief Jeffrey Nor Mohamed said that Bung Moktar had remained loyal to the party and held it together when 22 of 25 division chiefs, led by Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor, left Umno in Dec 2018 after the party lost the state government.
