KUCHING, Nov 19 — Sarawak PKR has predicted that the 10th state election will be held by the middle of next year following the latest political developments in the state which saw former BN leaders and members joining the party.
Sarawak PKR deputy chairman Wan Zainal Abidin Wan Senusi said today that the entry of Ngemah state assemblyman Gabriel Adit Demong, former Sri Aman MP Jimmy Donald and other BN leaders together with almost 12,000 BN members would strengthen the PKR base in Sarawak.
“I am optimistic that more BN leaders will join PKR in the near future,” he said in a statement.
He claimed that there were sufficient indications that the people of Sarawak would like to see change especially in its land policy.
Adit, 58, who won the seat on an Independent ticket in the state election on May 20, 2006, sent his application to join PKR last Saturday. With his inclusion, the party now has two members in the state legislative assembly.
The other is Dominic Ng who is also the state PKR chairnman and Padungan stae assemblyman. — Bernama
