Warisan president Shafie Apdal said he informed PKR president Anwar Ibrahim that the main objective is to win the Sabah state election when the pair discussed seat allocations.
"I told Anwar who came to my house... I said I gave many seats last time, but they only won two.
"This is not the season for us to give seats, this is the season for us to win the election. It is not a question of 'Oh our party will be looked down on if we have a smaller number (of seats)'.
"It is not a party's dignity that is our priority. It is the dignity that we want to win the election that is more important," he said in his speech before announcing the 54 candidates who will be contesting under the Warisan logo in the upcoming state polls at the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC) today.
