KOTA KINABALU: Unlike other political parties, Sabah Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has chosen not to make any announcement of its candidates before the polling days.
Its president Datuk Chin Su Phin said the party decided not to emulate other parties in revealing their candidates for the state election.
"However, LDP will still contest for the state polls and to field 46 candidates," he told the New Straits Times, adding that the media could ask the party's life honorary president Tan Sri Chong Kah Kiat about the decision after Nomination Day this Saturday.
Tomorrow will be a hectic day for political parties and the media as most parties are expected to make their announcement at about the same time.
