KUCHING: Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) is ready for the 13th Sarawak General Election, with its component parties’ election machinery already on standby.
Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Amar Fadillah Yusof, said the coalition has maintained its election preparations since the previous polls, rather than waiting until the election approaches.
He said all GPS component parties are working closely to coordinate preparations, including operational arrangements and logistics.
“We have actually been working all the time. We started preparing right after the last election.
“This is simply part of the democratic process, where elections must be held, and our machinery is already on standby,” he told reporters after officiating at a futsal court launching ceremony at Kuching Police Headquarters today.
Fadillah, who is also the GPS parliamentary chief whip, said elections provide an opportunity for the people to decide who should govern Sarawak for the next five years.
On the 14-day campaign period set by the Election Commission (EC), he said GPS respects the decision and is prepared to adjust its campaign arrangements accordingly.
