KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 11: Kapit Member of Parliament Dato Sri Alexander Nanta Linggi has confirmed that he will continue serving at parliamentary level and will not contest a State Legislative Assembly (DUN) seat in next month’s Sarawak election.
The Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) secretary-general said speculation about him contesting at state level arose after a proposal to create a new constituency, DUN Melekun, under the Kapit parliamentary constituency.
However, the Works Minister said the new constituency could not be used in this election because the boundary changes had not been gazetted.
“Although the Sarawak DUN has approved the addition of seats, the matter has yet to be brought to the Dewan Rakyat for approval.
