“About the hint (that I will be the candidate), yes, there already is.
“And if the party allows it, I am prepared and willing to become the candidate to contest in the seat (Mambong),” Sanjan said.
Separately, a source also confirmed that Sanjan is PSB’s choice for Mambong.
“Yes, Sanjan, who is lawyer is the choice (of the party) to contest in Mambong,” said the source, who is among the top PSB leaders in Mambong.
Sanjan, who contested in Mambong in the 2016 state election left Democratic Action Party (DAP) on July 13.
In his immediate interview after quitting the party, Sanjan said he will consider joining any political party if there is any “good offer”, but dismissed the possibility of joining Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS).
