KOTA KINABALU, May 21 -- Parti Warisan has dismissed rumours of any alliances and confirmed it will contest the upcoming 17th Sabah state election independently under its own banner.

In a statement today, Warisan secretary-general Datuk Loretto Padua Jr said the party remains unaffiliated with local coalition Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) or any other parties, focusing solely on representing the people of Sabah, not political elites.

"We will contest independently using our own logo. We are not aligned with any political coalition.

"Rumours claiming that Warisan is joining GRS or making deals behind closed doors are false. These lies are being deliberately spread on social media to confuse and mislead the public," he said.
