KOTA KINABALU: Parti Impian Sabah (PIS), which contested 72 seats in the Nov 29 Sabah state election, will not be fielding candidates in the Kinabatangan parliamentary and Lamag state by-elections. Roslan also strongly denied a social media claim that he would contest the Kinabatangan parliamentary seat. He emphasised that the party’s position remains unchanged and that PIS would not be joining the by-elections. The by-elections for the Kinabatangan parliamentary seat and the Lamag state constituency are scheduled for Jan 24. Barisan Nasional has named Mohd Ismail Ayob for Lamag and Naim Kurniawan Moktar for Kinabatangan, while Parti Warisan is fielding Datuk Saddi Abdul Rahman for Kinabatangan and Mazliwati Abdul Malek Chua for Lamag.
