The Election Commission (EC) said there will be 13 three-cornered fights, 33 four-cornered fights, 24 five-cornered fights, seven six-cornered fights and one eight-cornered fight.

There will only be four straight fights.

EC chairman Abdul Ghani Salleh said only the ruling Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) is contesting all 82 seats.

A total of 10 parties and 30 independents are in the fray, comprising 304 men and 45 women.

Ghani said there are 95 candidates aged below 50 and 121 candidates aged above 60.

“The youngest candidates are 24 years old, standing in Batu Lintang and Nangka, while the oldest is 79, contesting the Bawang Assan seat,” he said.

He also said there were two rejected nominations – from Jemoreng, involving the Parti Bumi Kenyalang (PBK) candidate, and Senadin, involving an independent.
