KUCHING: Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) chairman Abang Johari Openg has hinted that Igan MP Ahmad Johnie Zawawi may be renominated as a candidate in the 15th general election (GE15).
Abang Johari, who is also the Sarawak premier, said that traditionally, the parliamentary seat was allocated to Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) which led the GPS coalition.
“We have not decided who is going to be the candidate for the Igan parliamentary constituency.
“He (Ahmad Johnie) is still young and has only been elected for one term,” he said after attending the Matu 2022 festival in Matu today.
In GE14, Ahmad Johnie won the seat with a majority of 8,495 votes defeating PKR candidate Andri Zulkarnaen Hamden.
GPS, a coalition comprising PBB, Parti Rakyat Sarawak, Sarawak United People’s Party and the Progressive Democratic Party, controls 18 of the 31 parliamentary seats in the state. - FMT
