KOTA KINABALU: Parti Warisan Sabah has moved to "force a vacancy" in the Sindumin state seat after its incumbent assemblyman Datuk Dr Yusof Yacob quit the party on Oct 8.

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Assembly Speaker Datuk Kadzim Yahaya has rejected a pre-signed letter from Hassan Amir Gani stating he would be stepping down as Sebatik assemblyman.
With the Speaker s decision, Hassan, who left Parti Warisan Sabah to support Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), remains as Sebatik assemblyman. I have perused the letter of resignation handed over by Parti Warisan Sabah and the statutory declaration by Sebatik assemblyman revoking all that he agreed with Warisan. I have decided that there is no vacancy in the Sebatik seat, because a pre-signed undated resignation is void and against public policy, as far as the law stands now.
