Dr M: PPBM to enter Sabah
The move could mean another major step towards the coveted parliamentary supermajority that would let Pakatan Harapan undertake sweeping legal reforms including amending the Federal Constitution.
(MMO) – Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia will establish a chapter in Sabah, chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad confirmed today.
The move comes despite the ruling Sabah coalition’s attempts to dissuade the peninsular-based PPBM from setting up camp in the Borneo state.
PPBM is believed to be keen on entering Sabah in order to absorb former Umno lawmakers from the state who are currently independent.
The move could mean another major step towards the coveted parliamentary supermajority that would let Pakatan Harapan undertake sweeping legal reforms including amending the Federal Constitution.
Earlier this week, PPBM announced it was absorbing seven former Umno MPs after their period in political limbo.
The controversial move effectively gives PH, in combination with Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal’s Parti Warisan Sabah, control of 134 seats in the 222-member Parliament.
