00:00Warasan has been losing support from the Kadazan Dusun Murd-Rungus community, according to two Gabungan Rakyat Saba leaders.
00:08Masiung Bana and Arthur Sen said recent election results disproved Warasan President Shafiq Abdaal's claim that the party still had strong KDMR backing.
00:18Masiung, a party gagasan Rakyat Saba vice president, told FMT that most KDMR voters now supported GRS for its stability and development efforts.
00:26He added that Warasan's failure to govern effectively from 2018 to 2020 caused the community to lose confidence in the party.
00:35Last week, Shafiq cited Warasan's 2020 state election wins in Malalap, Limbahaw, and Moyod as proof of continued KDMR support,
00:44though Malalap Assemblyman Peter Anthony and Limbahaw Assemblyman Juhu Mwathim later left the party.
00:49Arthur, a party Bersatu Saba vice president, said data from the 2022 general election showed a major drop in Warasan's support in KDMR areas,
00:59citing former Penampang MP Daryl Lighting's defeat by UPCO's Ewan Benedict.
01:04He added that Warasan's earlier victories in Malalap and Limbahaw were due to the personal influence of Peter and Juhuil, not the party itself.
