GABUNGAN Parti Sarawak (GPS) is eyeing to wrest the Mas Gading seat and retain Serian, both Bidayuh-majority parliamentary constituencies, in the upcoming general election.

Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) vice-president Datuk Roland Sagah Wee Inn said GPS is determined to prove that the coalition is the best choice for the people in both constituencies.

“We will fight them (opposition) and show that we are better, serving the people with commitment and not just indulging in rhetoric,” he said.

He told reporters this after attending the 2nd International Conference on Innovative Science and Technology for Research and Education 2022, organised by Universiti Teknologi Mara Sarawak Branch, in Kuching today.

Sarawak DAP has announced that Mordi Bimol will be defending the Mas Gading seat for the party while Laerry Jabul will be its candidate in Serian.

Roland said the GPS candidates for the two constituencies will be announced by GPS chairman Abang Johari Openg.

GPS comprises PBB, Parti Rakyat Sarawak, Progressive Democratic Party and Sarawak United Peoples’ Party. 

In the 2018 general election, Mordi won Mas Gading with a majority of 3,024 votes while Richard Riot of SUPP took Serian with a 9,905-vote majority. – Bernama, October 26, 2022.
