KUCHING, Oct 17: Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) is unlikely to secure many uncontested wins in the coming 13th Sarawak election (PRN13), with voters themselves wanting to see candidates tested at the ballot box, says Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah.

Responding to a question on how many seats GPS could win uncontested, the Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Information chief said such an outcome was “very unlikely”.

“Uncontested is very unlikely. But I can tell you the feeling on the ground, they would want to see a contest also,” he told reporters during a press conference after officiating DayakDaily’s Sarawak Folklore Writing Competition Awards Ceremony held at Imperial Hotel here today.
