MIRI – Sarawak PKR is expected to announce its full list of candidates for the 15th general election (GE15) by November 1, said its chairman Roland Engan.
He said the reason why party president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim did not announce the candidates for Sabah and Sarawak at an event in the peninsula last night was because the leaders from the two states have been given the autonomy to do so themselves.
“The announcement of candidates last night was only confined to candidates in (Peninsular Malaysia). The reason why Sabah and Sarawak candidates were not announced was simply because we have this autonomy – not only within our country but also within the party.”
He said certain decisions affecting Sarawak, for instance, would be decided by local leaders in the party.
“So we are going to announce the candidates very soon – I will try my best to organise an event on Monday (October 31), if not on November 1.
“Of course, we will do it in the presence of all the top leaders,” he said, adding the announcement will be made in Miri.
On another note, Roland said PKR will be organising a Jelajah Mega Harapan event on November 1 at 6pm at the Miri Waterfront Commercial Centre. – Borneo Post Online, October 29, 2022
