Two constituencies within the Kota Kinabalu parliamentary area will elect fresh representatives after incumbents declined to seek reelection. Phoong Jin Zhe, who has served Luyang since 2018, has shifted his campaign to Likas under Pakatan Harapan following the party's decision not to renominate incumbent Tan Lee Fatt, who previously secured the seat with a substantial margin exceeding 7,500 votes.
Thonny Chee will attempt to retain Api-Api for Pakatan Harapan against four challengers after Christina Liew chose not to defend her position. The former assemblywoman achieved victory with more than 5,000 votes separating her from opponents.
Chan Loong Wei, a 25-year-old who previously worked as Phoong's political secretary, faces four contenders while attempting to maintain Pakatan Harapan's control of Luyang. The returning officer confirmed smooth nomination proceedings across all three constituencies, with every candidate meeting eligibility requirements.
