  "account": "Pengerusi Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS), Abang Johari Openg, has urged non-validated PBB members to continue supporting any selected candidate in the upcoming Sarawak PRN 13 on November 25. The party will unveil the complete list of all 82 candidates during the event. Abang Johari, who is also the President of PBB, envisions potential changes in the candidate list to provide opportunities for both young and experienced leaders. \"Of course, there is a possibility of substitution... we (GPS) have both young and experienced candidates to be announced,\" he said to reporters after the PBB South Zone Conference. Earlier, during the conference, Abang Johari called on PBB members not validated in this PRN to continue supporting any elected candidate. He emphasized that brotherly support and culture are the foundation of PBB's success, a key component of GPS. Previously, Abang Johari reportedly hinted that eight DUN seats from GPS might remain contested, involving four PBB representatives - Fazzrudin Abdul Rahman, Ibrahim Baki, Hamzah Brahim, and Martin Ben. Additionally, four from the People's Unity Party (SUPP) - Dr Sim Kui Hian, Lo Khere Chiang, Wilfred Yap Yau Sin, and Ding Kuong Hiing - are also in the mix. GPS comprises four component parties: PBB, SUPP, PRS, and PDP. The Election Commission (SPR) set 28 November as the nomination day, while the primary poll will be held on 8 December, followed by the general election on 12 December.",
