KUCHING – Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) will maintain the status quo in its parliamentary seat distribution for the 15th general election (GE15).

GPS chairman Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg, who is also Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) president, said that GPS was moving with one voice and agreement on the issue of seat distribution.
