KUCHING: Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) has pledged to secure a sweeping victory for Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) in the 13th Sarawak general election.
PBB senior vice-president Datuk Amar Fadillah Yusof said the party’s Southern Zone election machinery, covering 26 branches, was fully prepared to mobilise support for all GPS candidates.
“We are determined to stand united and work hard to ensure not only PBB candidates, but all GPS candidates secure a big victory in this election,” he said this during the PBB Southern Zone Special Convention 2026 at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) on Sunday (Nov 15).
Fadillah, who is also Deputy Prime Minister, said the convention, themed ‘Jaga Sarawak, Intu Sarawak’, served as a platform to consolidate the party’s strength ahead of the polls, which would determine Sarawak’s direction over the next five years.
“The boat is ready, and the paddles are in our hands. We are only waiting for the signal from our president.
“We are ready to paddle with full strength and ensure that PBB and GPS emerge victorious,” he said.
He also reaffirmed the Southern Zone’s unwavering support for Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg, crediting his leadership with strengthening Sarawak’s financial position and advancing long-term development.
Fadillah stressed that political responsibility extended beyond elections, with elected representatives expected to serve the people throughout their mandate.
“Our responsibility to the people does not begin only when an election is announced, nor does it end when the election results are known.
“We work all the time. Once the election is over, we return our focus to serving the people and developing our state,” he said.
He added that politics and administration must be guided by trust, integrity and accountability, with leaders expected to listen to public concerns, monitor development projects and address shortcomings.
“When the people give us a mandate, we must carry out that responsibility seriously,” he said.
Fadillah urged party members to remain united and committed to ensuring GPS retained the people’s confidence to govern Sarawak for another five years.
