There is talk that Chong Kah Kiat may contest in the coming polls as the LDP gears up to be the third force in the state. FMTNews Sabah

Chong Kah Kiat was chief minister from 2001 to 2003 under Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s chief minister rotation system during the latter’s first term as prime minister.

Asked if he would contest in the coming election, Chong told FMT: “Let’s wait, have a little patience. Let’s wait for the Election Commission meeting.” However, he suddenly appeared after an 11-year absence from politics to campaign for BN in the last general election, raising eyebrows after his earlier differences with Musa.

The other forces considered in the state are the incumbent ruling coalition of Warisan Plus and Sabah Umno/BN with its Perikatan Nasional allies of Sabah PPBM, PBS and STAR.Chin was also coy when asked if Chong would be making his comeback. However, he said they had conducted a survey in the state and were confident they could be the surprise package in the election.
