SIBU, Nov 14: Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) chairman Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg has called on P214 Selangau voters to give their support to Edwin Banta (GPS-Parti Rakyat Sarawak) this 15th General Election (GE15).
He was referring to Selangau incumbent Baru Bian who won the seat in the 2018 General Election under a Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) ticket.
