Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP) has submitted its list of candidates for the 15th general election (GE15) to Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) chairperson Abang Johari Openg.
SUPP president Dr Sim Kui Hian said Abang Johari had informed him yesterday that GPS is close to finalising the list of the coalition's GE15 candidates.
"Now it is up to the Sarawak premier to decide who will be selected to contest," Sim (above), who is also Sarawak deputy premier, told the media after officiating the 2022 World Counseling Day Seminar in Kuching today.
GPS consists of Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS), Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) and SUPP.
Based on the previous understanding in the GPS, SUPP is expected to represent the coalition in seven Sarawak parliamentary constituencies, namely Bandar Kuching, Stampin, Serian, Sarikei, Sibu, Lanang and Miri.
In GE14, SUPP contested the same seven seats but only won Serian through its deputy president Richard Riot.
Sim said SUPP did not want what happened after GE14, which saw the national political scenario become unstable with three prime ministers appointed in less than five years, repeating after GE15.
"GE15 will be an extraordinary election because it will give the people the opportunity to elect a stable government to end the political chaos," he added.
Parliament was dissolved on Oct 10. The Election Commission meets tomorrow to decide the important dates for GE15.
