KUCHING, Nov 15: Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) members who are not selected as candidates for the coming Sarawak Election 2026 have been urged to continue supporting the party and those chosen to represent it.
Its president Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said the party’s strength depended on collective commitment rather than individual members, stressing that its unity must be maintained regardless of who received the candidacy.
“PBB’s success is not because of one person. We are only representatives of our party. That is why we must preserve the PBB spirit and continue fighting for it.
“Even if someone is not chosen as a candidate, the party spirit must remain. Just as others support us, we must also support those representing PBB,” he said when speaking at the PBB Southern Zone Convention at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) today.
He said the priority was to keep PBB strong, maintain political stability and ensure Sarawak had sufficient revenue to stand on its own.
Also present were PBB deputy presidents Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas and Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan; senior vice presidents Datuk Amar Fadillah Yusof and Dato Sri Dr Stephen Rundi Utom; permanent chairman Tan Sri Datuk Amar Mohamad Asfia Awang Nassar; secretary-general Dato Sri Alexander Nanta Linggi; Youth chief Datuk Martin Ben; and Women chief Dato Sri Fatimah Abdullah. — DayakDaily
