KUCHING: It is a strategic move by PKR to avoid three-cornered fights by fielding fewer candidates in the Sarawak state election, says Sarawak PKR adviser Hafsah Harun.

Hafsah said PKR’s decision to contest 28 seats, unlike 40 in 2016, was made after considering logistical issues and strict Covid-19 SOP.
