Tasik Biru or Opar.
For PBDS Baru, since its registration on August 24, 2013, the coming state election will be its first.
The party, he said, will not form electoral pact with
either DAP, PKR or Star.
"We are going alone because we have our own agenda
to think of," he said.
Meanwhile, Anek has indicated that he might contest in
the next state election.
He was speaking at the closing of a Gawai Dayak
celebration at his house at Kampomg Bobak Sejinjang in Bau yesterday.
It was also attended by Sabah Star chief Datuk Dr Jeffrey
Kitingan and former SNAP president Stanley Jugol.
Anek was Mas
Gading MP from 1974 to 1986, and Tasik Biru assemblyman from 1979 to 1983.
He contested under STAR ticket in Mas Gading in the 2013
parliamentary election, but lost to new Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate Anthony
Nogeh Gumbek.
Anek said, despite being 69, he was still very strong and
would prepare for the next state election.
He also called on the young people to be involved in
politics, stressing they were free to choose any political platform that would
suit them, and that they were not at all obliged to be involved with BN.
