GPS to contest all 82 seats in Sarawak election, says Abang Johari

KUCHING, Oct 28 — Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) will contest all 82 state seats in Sarawak’s 13th state election.

Sarawak Premier and GPS chairman Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg said the decision was reached following a meeting with the presidents of the coalition’s component parties today.

“We do not yet know the election date as it will be determined by the Election Commission (EC). However, GPS is ready,” he told reporters after chairing the GPS Supreme Leadership Council meeting here.

Abang Johari said the coalition would await the EC’s announcement of the election dates before deciding its next course of action.

On seat allocations among GPS component parties, he said detailed discussions would be held based on the seats currently held by each party.

On October 23, Abang Johari announced the dissolution of the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly, effective October 26, to pave the way for the state election.

The EC is scheduled to hold a special meeting on November 6 to determine key election dates and discuss related matters.

In the 12th state election on December 18, 2021, GPS secured 76 of the 82 seats contested, while Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB) won four and DAP two.

However, Sarawak’s political landscape changed following PSB’s dissolution in 2024, when three of its former assemblymen joined the Progressive Democratic Party (PDP), a GPS component party, while another one opted to become an independent.

GPS comprises Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP), Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) and PDP. — Bernama

古晋，10月28日——砂拉越政党联盟（GPS）将在砂拉越第13届州选举中竞选全部82个州议席。

砂拉越州州长兼砂拉越政党联盟主席丹斯里阿邦佐哈里表示，该决定是在今天与联盟各成员党主席会面后做出的。

“我们目前还不知道选举日期，这将由选举委员会决定。但是，GPS已经做好准备，”他在主持完GPS最高领导委员会会议后告诉记者。

阿邦佐哈里表示，该联盟将等待选举委员会宣布选举日期，然后再决定下一步行动。

关于GPS各成员党之间的席位分配，他表示将根据各党目前所占席位进行详细讨论。

10月23日，阿邦佐哈里宣布解散砂拉越州立法议会，自10月26日起生效，为州选举铺平道路。

选举委员会计划于11月6日召开特别会议，确定关键选举日期并讨论相关事宜。

在 2021 年 12 月 18 日举行的第 12 届州选举中，砂拉越政党联盟 (GPS) 赢得了 82 个席位中的 76 个，而砂拉越团结党 (PSB) 赢得了 4 个席位，民主行动党 (DAP) 赢得了 2 个席位。

然而，随着砂拉越人民党（PSB）于 2024 年解散，砂拉越的政治格局发生了变化。当时，该党的三名前州议员加入了进步民主党（PDP），该党是砂拉越政党联盟（GPS）的成员党，而另一名州议员则选择成为独立人士。
