SPDP names its Sarawak election candidates

Even though the state election is only due a year away, Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP) has named its candidates, with a warning to the state BN leadership not to “disturb” its list, as was done in previous elections.

Under the BN agreement and understanding, SPDP has been given eight seats to contest - Tasik Biru, Pakan, Meluan, Krian, Bekenu, Marudi, Batu Danau and Ba’Kelalan.

“Except for Bekenu and Batu Danau, the party supreme council meeting has endorsed the names of candidates for the six seats,” SPDP president Tiong King Sing said after chairing the meeting at its headquarters in Kuching yesterday afternoon.
