Sabah Umno and Barisan Nasional are backing Mohd Naim Kurniawan Moktar for the Kinabatangan parliamentary race. Their state chief, Datuk Jafry Ariffin, said the pick was about organizational strength and grassroots approval, not just family ties. He argued the candidate was chosen by the party itself and represents real service, not a symbolic figurehead.
Jafry framed the upcoming vote as a bigger test of political stability and public trust. He stated it would show if the coalition can keep delivering in important, tough areas. The minister pledged a united effort from Sabah Umno to ensure the constituency gets principled representation.
