A GPS leader said disputes could arise over three state assembly seats won by PSB which were also contested by GPS member parties.

PSB holds three seats in the state assembly which were traditionally contested by members of Sarawak’s ruling coalition GPS.

While the decision of the two parties to merge strictly had nothing to do with GPS, “the concern is that it will lead to issues down the road, especially where seats are concerned”, FMT was told. Despite the potential problem with seats, he viewed the merger as a positive development for GPS. “We’ll gain because it means that there is practically no opposition. PSB are the main opposition party in Sarawak. The only issue we have to work out now is the details.”

Ba’Kelalan was traditionally contested by PDP. The current assemblyman is Baru Bian of PSB and a former PKR vice-president, who is currently serving his third term.
