GPS has yet to name its potential candidates for 13th state election, Karim clarifies

KUCHING, July 6 2026:  Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) clarified today that it has yet to name its potential candidates for the upcoming 13^th state election.

Its spokesman Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said GPS views the clarification as necessary to avoid confusion among party leadership and supporters as these so-called proposed candidates are not endorsed by the coalition.  

“However, GPS has expressed its appreciation to these postings which it considers as signs of support to GPS,” Karim, who is PBB information chief, said in a statement.

He noted that recently there have been a few postings in the social media on personalities purportedly proposed as GPS candidates for the upcoming Sarawak state election.

“In this regard, GPS wishes to clarify that no potential candidates have been decided by the coalition of Sarawak governing party,” he said.

“However, GPS has expressed its appreciation to these postings which it considers as signs of support to GPS,” he said.
