KOTA KINABALU: A gathering of almost 5,000 people at the Sabah Barisan Nasional convention last week was a strong message by the coalition that it was ready to retake Sabah, once its political bastion.

Top Barisan leaders, including chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, spoke at the one-day event on July 2 , telling members to pull together and prepare for the coming general election.

With Barisan eyeing most of the Sabah parliamentary seats it won in GE14, there is bound to be disagreement over who should have the larger slice of the cake in terms of seat allocation. Sabah Barisan chief Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin had said in a press conference after the convention that the coalition had five options if talks on political cooperation with GRS did not work out, but stopped short of sharing details.Political analyst Oh Ei Sun, however, said he would not be paying too much attention to the “election posturing” by Barisan.
