KUALA LUMPUR: Kapit member of parliament Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi has confirmed that he will continue serving at parliamentary level and will not contest a state seat in next month's Sarawak election.
The Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) secretary-general said speculation about him contesting at state level arose following a proposal to create a new constituency, DUN Melekun, under the Kapit parliamentary constituency.
However, the works minister said the proposed constituency could not be contested in this election as the boundary changes had yet to be gazetted.
"Although the Sarawak DUN has approved the addition of seats, the matter has yet to be brought to the Dewan Rakyat for approval.
