Kota Kinabalu: Putatan Upko aims to attract more than 2,000 attendees to its annual general meeting on June 21, opening the event to both party members and the general public.

Divisional chief Datuk Marcus M. Mojigoh (pic) stated that the gathering at Dewan Mini Antub will serve to engage grassroots members and residents as political parties prepare for the upcoming parliamentary election.

Upko President Datuk Ewon Benedick is expected to officiate the event, which will include wing meetings, a divisional AGM, and community activities.

Marcus, who noted the division has over 30 active branches, expressed hope that the Putatan parliamentary seat would be allocated to Upko under the ruling Gabungan Rakyat Sabah coalition arrangement.

He recalled that Upko had traditionally contested the seat since its creation in 2004 but lost it in 2018 due to strong anti-Barisan Nasional sentiment, public calls for change, and internal coalition issues.
