SERIAN, Nov 10: Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) is awaiting detailed reports from its 13 working committees before determining the next phase of preparations for the Sarawak Election 2026.
GPS election operations director Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas said a full election preparatory committee meeting would be convened soon to assess progress across the coalition.
“We will be holding a meeting not long from now to get reports from all 13 committees. From there, we will take steps to prepare for the final stage,” he told reporters after officiating several projects in the Kedup constituency at the Kampung Meboi Multipurpose Hall here today.
Uggah, who is also Deputy Premier, said the upcoming meeting would allow the leadership to obtain detailed briefings before determining its next course of action.
He said the respective committees had already been instructed to carry out their responsibilities, with election preparations now in full swing.
“During that committee meeting, we will get a detailed report on the preparation of each committee, and then we will chart our direction forward,” he said.
Asked whether any major voter concerns had been identified, particularly in rural constituencies, Uggah said the leadership had yet to receive reports from the committees.
On the progress of the GPS election manifesto, he said he had not received a briefing on the matter.
“We didn’t get anything yet. Wait for the second meeting; then they will give us the briefing,” he said.
On Nov 4, Uggah announced that GPS had established 13 working committees to coordinate its election preparations, covering areas including the secretariat, projects and manifesto, intelligence, VVIP visits, logistics and air transport, finance, security, and legal affairs.
He also said the manifesto was being drafted, while the intelligence committee was tasked with identifying potential election-related issues and determining measures to address them. — DayakDaily
