UNITED Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation (Upko) is ready to assist the Warisan candidate in the Kimanis parliamentary by-election next month.

Its president, Wilfred Madius Tangau, said the appointed party machinery would ensure all Upko members in the constituency vote for the Warisan candidate.

“We have also identified the number of members in the constituency, namely about 2,000 members, and we will ensure that all of them will come out (to vote),” he said after attending the Upko Christmas open house at Dewan Masyarakat Ranau, Ranau, today.

Madius, who is also Sabah’s deputy chief minister, said the campaign period for the by-election would also be the best platform to explain to people in the constituency the government’s policies.

The Election Commission has set the Kimanis by-election for January 18, while nomination day falls on January 4 and early voting on January 14. – Bernama, December 25, 2019.
