  "account": "The Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) is set to announce the full list of 82 candidates for the Sarawak PRN 13 election on November 25, according to GPS chairman Abang Johari Openg. The chairman, who is also the President of the Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), expressed hope for potential changes in the candidate list to provide opportunities for young and experienced leaders. \"It is certain that there will be exchanges... we have both young and experienced candidates to be announced,\" he stated to journalists after the PBB South Zone Convention. Earlier, during the PBB Convention speech, Abang Johari urged PBB members not elected this PRN cycle to continue supporting any elected candidates. The chairman emphasized that mutual support and camaraderie are the foundation of PBB's success as a supporting party within GPS. Previously, Abang Johari hinted that eight Sarawak Legislative Assembly (DUN) seats from GPS could remain contested, involving four PBB representatives - Fazzrudin Abdul Rahman, Ibrahim Baki, Hamzah Brahim, and Martin Ben. Additionally, four more seats from the Parti Rakyat Bersatu Sarawak (SUPP) are expected, including Dr Sim Kui Hian, Lo Khere Chiang, Wilfred Yap Yau Sin, and Ding Kuong Hiing. GPS comprises four component parties: PBB, SUPP, Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS), and Parti Demokratik Progresif (PDP). The Election Commission (SPR) set 28 November as the nomination date, with the opening poll on December 8 and voting day on December 12.",
