Barisan-Pakatan polls pact on the horizon in Sabah?

KOTA KINABALU: An electoral pact between Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan in the next Sabah election is a credible possibility given the state's complex political ground, with some local parties vying to keep national parties out.

Political analyst Rahezzal Shah said looking at the current political scenario, the two national coalitions were likely to work together as they might find it difficult to cut deals with the ruling Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) or other parties to share the 73 state seats at stake.
