KOTA KINABALU, Aug. 25 -- Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) is confident of defending its Api-Api and Inanam seats in the upcoming state elections.

PKR Sabah chairman Datuk Ts Mustapha Sakmud said discussions are still ongoing regarding the seats Pakatan Harapan (PH) will contest in the 17th Sabah state election, as well as electoral cooperation.

"But what is certain is that we will not let go of Api-Api. These two seats are confirmed, no question about it.

We will announce the candidates later," he said after launching the PKR Api-Api main operations room and election machinery here on Sunday.

Mustapha dismissed speculation that Api-Api incumbent Datuk Seri Christina Liew might be dropped as a candidate after she was absent from the event....
