  "account": "The Sarawak State Election Commission (SPR) has officially designated December 12 as the date for the nomination of candidates for the upcoming PRN Sarawak. SPR Chairman Ramlan Harun announced that the submission of candidate lists will be finalized on November 28, while the initial voting for the election will take place on December 8.\n\nThis announcement comes after the dissolution of the Sarawak State Election (DUN) on October 26, which opened the path for the PRN. The last PRN was held in January 2021 when the Sarawak Progressive Party (GPS) won 76 out of the 82 seats contested. The opposition, Sarawak United Party (PSB), secured four seats while the Democratic Action Party (DAP) claimed two.\n\nPSB member See Chee How subsequently left the party to become an independent and expressed support for Sarawak Premier Abang Johari Openg, who also serves as the GPS chairperson. Following this, PSB was dissolved, with its leaders and members joining the Progresif Democratic Party (PDP), a GPS component party, en masse.",
