The Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) coalition will contest in all 82 Sarawak state assembly seats in the next state election said the coalition's secretary-general Alexander Nanta Linggi.
In a statement today, he also denied there were seat-sharing talks between GPS and Bersatu.
“I want to emphasise no such negotiations have ever been or will be held. In fact, GPS will contest in all 82 seats.
"Therefore, I would like to correct the wrong message reported in some media," he said.
His statement came after reports surfaced, claiming that the Kapit MP confirmed there were seat-sharing negotiations between GPS and Bersatu to face the Sarawak elections.
Bersatu occupies one Sarawak state seat through Krian representative Ali Biju who won the seat as a PKR candidate in the last state election but then defected.
The Sarawak state assembly's term expired on June 7 and state polls were supposed to be held within 60 days.
However, the federal government sought a localised emergency there to avoid an election amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
The localised emergency in Sarawak is set to expire on Feb 2 next year, after which polls must be held. - Mkini
