PN juga mungkin tak tanding PRN Sarawak, kata Annuar
BN juga sebelum ini tidak tanding PRN Sarawak kerana mendakwa mempunyai persefahaman dengan PBB.
Perikatan Nasional (PN) may potentially abstain from the upcoming Sarawak PRN polls, according to Annuar Musa, PN’s spokesperson. The decision on whether or not to participate in the polls next month is expected to be made soon, he said via a social media post. The Barisan Nasional (BN) has already decided not to join the elections, he added.
PN might also consider abstaining, he mentioned. Earlier, BN Chairman Zahid Hamidi announced that the coalition would not participate in the PRN Sarawak due to Umno's agreement with the Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), which leads the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS). Unlike Sabah, Umno never established a liaison body in Sarawak and generally respects the agreement to cede seats in the Dewan Negara and Parliament to the local party.
Last October, PAS was reported to be contemplating participating in Samariang, Sebuyau, and Beting Maro, which have an Islamic Bumiputera majority, following its success in winning one parliamentary seat in PRN Sabah. PAS had previously contested in Beting Maro during the 2021 PRN Sarawak, but lost to the GPS. The people of Sarawak will go to the polls on 12th August.
