  "account": "GPS spokesman Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah stated that the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) denies a list circulating on social media claiming several ministers, deputy ministers, and representatives from the coalition government would be eliminated as candidates for the upcoming PRN election. As there has been no official announcement up to this point, any unidentified message cannot be considered as confirmation of a potential candidate list. \"The letter does not specify or reveal its sender, so we do not need to consider anything contained within it as true,\" Abdul Karim said, according to Dayak Daily. The GPS leader also mentioned that those spreading the list, which includes pictures of alleged candidates, may be intentionally doing so to support the removal of politically involved individuals from the candidate pool. \"Their aim is for the top leadership to see public reaction,\" he added, referring to GPS leadership. Abdul Karim emphasized that PBB and GPS have never promoted pictures of individuals considered as candidates before any official announcement. The Sarawak State Legislative Assembly (DUN) was dissolved on October 26, paving the way for the PRN-13 nomination process within a 60-day period. GPS is eager to contest all 82 DUN seats and will present a new face and experienced leadership lineup. However, it is worth noting that some representatives voluntarily chose to step down rather than being eliminated.",
