Sabah Umno to prioritise popular choice over parachuting candidates

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Umno will not parachute candidates into any constituency in the 17th state elections and will go with the popular choice, says Sabah Barisan Nasional chairman Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin.

"Barisan-Umno will not force the people to accept the candidate proposed by the party but will choose the candidate that the people in the area want, and we believe will be able to win," he said when launching the Barisan's Jalinan Rakyat machinery in Sabah's interior Tenom district Saturday (Oct 5).
