Barisan Nasional forwarded candidate lists for Sabah's upcoming state election to three government agencies for integrity verification. Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi announced the coalition sent names to police, the anti-corruption commission and Syariah Court authorities. Each constituency generated four to five potential candidates who underwent screening procedures. The coalition may extend background checks to divisional and constituency-level state leaders.
The state assembly faces automatic dissolution on November 11 without earlier action, triggering the electoral process. Ahmad Zahid emphasized that candidate electability will drive final selections. The coalition chairman plans discussions with Sabah BN leader Bung Moktar Radin about seat distribution. Officials made these announcements during a technical education program ceremony.
