KUCHING:
Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) will maintain the status quo in its parliamentary seat distribution for the 15th general election (GE15).

GPS chairman Abang Johari Openg, who is also Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) president, said that GPS was moving with one voice and agreement on the issue of seat distribution.

“Yes, we will maintain (the status quo),” he told reporters after chairing the GPS Supreme Council meeting.

The PBB, which leads the GPS, currently has 13 MPs.
