In the said occasion, the Party also received 250 new membership applications from Andrew to join Gerakan Kudat.

“This is a historical moment for us to celebrate as it marks the re-born of Gerakan Kudat and Kudat has always been significant to us because it was the catalyst and the birthplace of Gerakan Sabah way back in the late 1995 founded by the former elected Assemblyman of Tanjung Kapor, Datuk Kong Hong Ming,” said Gordon in a statement issued here today.

He noted that the Party has decided to set up its Division in Kudat citing an overwhelming requests from many locals community leaders there over the past two months.

“Gerakan Sabah is here to serve the people of Kudat and our leaders here will work hand-in-hand with the local community leaders to serve the people of Kudat. We will also work closely with our comrades from the BN component parties to support the candidates chosen by the top leadership, as the Barisan Nasional candidates for the state and parliament seats in the coming General Election,” stressed Gordon.
