Abang Jo in four-cornered fight


GEDONG: The sleepy hollow of Gedong has come to life as election fever swept across the small commune located some 85km away from Kuching.

The 12th Sarawak election has thrown Gedong under the spotlight as Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) chairman Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg is the ruling coalition’s candidate for the seat.

The Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) president is contesting in Gedong for the first time, after moving from his old seat of Satok which he served as assemblyman since 1981.
