SIBU: The tussle for seats between United People’s Party (UPP) and Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) could cost Barisan Nasional to lose 12 seats to DAP again in the Sarawak election.

Political analyst Associate Prof Dr Jeniri Amir of Unimas said if UPP and SUPP failed to compromise once the seat allocations were announced, then DAP would be likely to retain the 12 seats it won in the last election.
