Parti Warisan (Warisan) has announced former Sukau assemblyman Datuk Saddi Abdul Rahman as its candidate for the Kinabatangan parliamentary by-election. The party also named Mazliwati Abd Malek, who contested the Kinabatangan parliamentary seat in the 15th General Election, as its candidate for the Lamag state by-election.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Warisan deputy president Datuk Darell Leiking, who announced both candidates at Dewan Sri Lamag today, stated that their selection had received the endorsement of the party's Kinabatangan division. He emphasized that the by-elections are a democratic process that must be carried out, and Warisan is offering candidates it deems suitable to bring change to the people of Kinabatangan and Lamag.

The Kinabatangan parliamentary seat and the Lamag state seat were declared vacant following the death of their incumbent, Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin, who was also the former Sabah Barisan Nasional chairman, on December 5. The Election Commission has set polling for both seats on January 24, with nomination day and early voting scheduled for January 10 and January 20, respectively.
