KINABATANGAN, Jan 5 (Bernama) -- Parti Warisan (Warisan) has announced former Sukau assemblyman Datuk Saddi Abdul Rahman as its candidate for the Kinabatangan parliamentary by-election
The party also named Mazliwati Abd Malek, who contested the Kinabatangan parliamentary seat in the 15th General Election, as its candidate for the Lamag state by-election.
Warisan deputy president Datuk Darell Leiking, who announced both candidates at Dewan Sri Lamag here today, said their selection had received the endorsement of the party’s Kinabatangan division.
