Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) is not facing any major problems with the distribution of 82 state seats between its four component parties in the upcoming Sarawak election, said its chairperson Abang Johari Openg.
He said that there were only a few problems but they could be resolved through discussions.
This came after reporters asked about the position of the three state seats, namely, Opar, Mambong and Bawang Assan, which are the three traditional seats of the Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP), but the three incumbents – Ranum Mina (Opar), Jerip Susil (Mambong) and Wong Soon Koh – all quit SUPP to form Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB).
Jerip, however, has since quit PSB to join Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB).
To the question of which component party candidate will be fielded in Mambong, Abang Johari (above) said that the matter would be discussed later.
On whether the selection of GPS candidates was based on party or personality, he said that the matter would also be decided in discussions between the four component parties, namely PBB, SUPP, Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) and the Progressive Democratic Party (PDP).
GPS will contest in all 82 state seats in the upcoming Sarawak election.
