Sabah BN chairman Bung Moktar Radin, who announced the list of candidates, is set to defend Lamag, the constituency he won in 2020.
Abdul Rahman Dahlan, a former urban wellbeing, housing and local government minister, will stand in Tempasuk, while Salleh Said Keruak, who was the communications and multimedia minister from 2015 to 2018, will defend the Usukan seat.
Arthur Joseph Kurup, the current deputy agriculture and food security minister, will stand in Sook.
BN won 14 seats in the last state election five years ago, although several of its assemblymen have since backed chief minister Hajiji Noor’s administration.
