Parti Warisan Sabah president Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal has refuted rumours that Warisan had won the Senallang, Bugaya, Keningau and Likas seats uncontested.

It was reported that a message circulating on social media claims that Shafie and three other party members had won their seats uncontested.

“There is no truth in it. We are fighting in all our seats,” he was quoted saying.

Shafie is defending his Semporna parliamentary seat and is up against his cousin Datuk Nasir Tun Sakaran, the son of Sabah Umno’s first chief minister Tun Sakaran Dandai, for the Senallang state seat.

The Bugaya state seat will see a six-cornered contest between Mohammad Said Tiblan (Parti Perpaduan Rakyat Sabah), Kulli Maralam (Parti Kebangsaan Sabah), Mahamod Sarahil (PAS), Manis Muka (Warisan), Razak (BN), and Abd Muksin Mohamad Hasan (Independant).

In Keningau, six hopefuls are vying for the parliamentary seat. They are Datuk Daniel Kinsik (Barisan Nasional), Jake Nointin (Warisan), Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan (Star), Jius Awang (Parti Cinta Sabah), Maimin @ Jeffrus Rijan (Independent) and Datuk Justin Guka (Independent).

As for the Likas state seat, no Warisan candidate was fielded. The seat is being contested by Ching Shu Ying (BN), Tan Lee Fatt (DAP), and Richard Yong (Sabah Progressive Party).

State Umno executive secretary Datuk Kadzim Yahya also denied that any of their candidates had pulled out.
