Contrary to its emphasis on single and local-party strength in the recent Sabah election, Warisan president Shafie Apdal today said the party remains open to cooperation when it comes to the next general election due to be called by 2027.

Shafie said Warisan, the single opposition bloc with 25 seats in the Sabah assembly, had prior opportunities to align with various groups and form a state government but chose instead to hold to its principles of a local party.
