KUCHING, Oct 23 — Some incumbent Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) assemblymen have indicated they are willing to make way for new candidates in the coming state election, said Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg.

He said the coalition’s line-up would comprise a mix of experienced and younger leaders, with new faces expected to feature.

“It is not that they have been dropped, but some have decided to withdraw,” he told reporters at Kompleks Satria Pertiwi here today.

Abang Johari said the final decision on the candidates would be made at a GPS meeting, adding that the proportion of new faces had yet to be determined.
