Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari has indicated that four incumbent assemblymen will likely retain their seats in the upcoming 13th Sarawak state election. At a motorcycle convoy flag-off ceremony in Kampung Matang, he playfully affirmed their continued status as Yang Berhormat (YB), a title reserved for state assemblymen. The four assemblymen are Datuk Fazzrudin Abdul Rahman from Tupong, Datuk Ibrahim Baki from Satok, Datuk Hamzah Brahim from Stakan, and Datuk Martin Ben from Kedup.

These candidates have a history of strong electoral performances, with Fazzrudin winning his third consecutive term in 2016, Ibrahim securing his third term in the 12th election, Hamzah making his state assembly debut in 2011, and Martin representing Kedup continuously since 2011.
