KUCHING: Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) will continue to focus on helping and serving the people regardless of when the next Sarawak state election is held, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.
Fadillah, who is also the GPS chief whip, said the coalition does not work only during election periods, but serves the people at all times.
“We view elections as a means of returning power to the people to assess our performance and the work we have carried out,” Bernama reported him as saying at a Chinese New Year contribution presentation ceremony for senior citizens and the disabled here yesterday.
He was commenting on a recent statement by GPS secretary-general Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi, who reportedly said that Sarawak is expected to hold its state election this year.
Fadillah said the polls can be held at any time, including this year.
“This is because the term of the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly will end in February 2027, therefore an election can be held at any time,” he said.
The 12th Sarawak state election was held on Dec 18, 2021.
