KUCHING, Nov 2: Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) will not entertain electoral collaboration with Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), Democratic Action Party (DAP) or other Peninsular-based parties in the coming Sarawak election, with the coalition determined to contest all 82 State seats on its own.

GPS chief spokesperson Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said any proposal for collaboration is too late, stressing that the coalition will continue to regard these parties as opponents at the State level despite their working relationship with GPS in the federal government.

“Well, the Premier (Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg) has already mentioned that we will contest all 82 seats in Sarawak outside of GPS,” he said.
